[2] A floristic study by Maria Grazia Guerrazzi identified the presence of 455 species divided into 272 genera and 73 families.

There is a strong presence, within the evergreen Maquis shrubland, of lecci and domestic pines (Pinus pinea) introduced by man in recent centuries.

The Sacchetti family later restored the authorization "to bird and hunt wild boars, roe deer, deer, hares, porcupines, and hedgehogs", but the activity was probably excessive given that a century later a chirograph of Pope Benedict XIII re-established the hunting reserve with severe penalties for those who violated it.

Currently we encounter foxes (Vulpes vulpes), wild boars (Sus scrofa), weasels, martens, hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus), porcupines (Hystrix cristata), moles (Talpa europaea), wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and badgers.

Numerous birds are also present in the area, such as woodpeckers, hoopoes (Upupa epops), blackcaps (Sylvia atricapilla), wrens (Troglodytes troglodytes ), warblers (Sylvia melanocephala), robins, redstarts (Phoenicurus phoenicurus), cuckoos, woodpeckers, reed warblers (Acrocephalus scirpaceus ), egrets (Egretta garzetta), herons (Ardea purpurea and Ardea cinerea), kingfishers (Alcedo atthis ), moorhens (Gallinula chloropus), black-winged stilts (Himantopus himantopus), other typical species of the Mediterranean macchia.
