context_page_description: The Capanne di Marcarolo Natural Regional Park is a natural park in the province of Alessandria. It gets the name from a small village in the protected area, Capanne di Marcarolo.
context_section_description: Some artificial lakes located in the park as Laghi del Gorzente were built from the end of 19th century in order to provide the city of Genova and its surrounding area with electricity and good quality freshwater.
  In 1944's spring a group of Italian partisans were surrounded by fascist and nazi troops on Monte Tobbio. After a fight some of them managed to break the blockade while some others were captured, transferred near Benedicta Abbey and executed by firing squads on 7 April 1944.
  The natural park was established by the l.r. (regional law, in Italian legge regionale) nr. 53 of August the 31st 1979 as modified by the l.r. nr. 13 of January the 23rd 1989. The park area is also included in a SIC (Site of Community Importance) called Capanne di Marcarolo (code: IT1180026). The SIC is larger than the park, and reaches a surface of 9548.78 ha.
