Rome, Italy, 2009
Here de Conciliis has reworked 10 hectares of land to create a park dedicated to world peace. Within the park, he has designed sculptures that represent the three monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and planted flowers and trees native to the Mediterranean.

Founder and President of the World Wide Fund for Nature
In addition, he has designed pedestrian pathways lined with masses of stones on which are inscribed poems dedicated to peace, written by poets from around the world.
—Fulco Pratesi
De Conciliis’ commitment to the environment and his ideals of peace between peoples create a unity between his landscape paintings and the park, thereby uniting both subjective and social aspects harmoniously together.
