Mauro Morandi had lived in a former WW II shelter on Budelli island since 1989 and acted as an unofficial caretaker. He was to be evicted by the end of 2020.In 2016, the park's president explained why Morandi could not continue to live in the park indefinitely. "[He] symbolizes a man, enchanted by the elements, who decides to devote his life to contemplation and custody ... "No one ignores [his] role in representing the historical memory of the place … But it's hard to find a contractual arrangement for a person in his position".
