Abruzzo Zoo and its collection
Abruzzo Zoo is a zoo in Rocca San Giovanni, Italy.

History
The story begins in 2007, when animals from a family-run circus were temporarily placed on the site the zoo now occupies. It was first called Safari Park d'Abruzzo, and new operators changed the name from 2011.
