The Cipressini of San Quirico d'Orcia: a Tuscan symbol
The Cipressini di San Quirico d'Orcia, located on a hill overlooking from the south a stretch of the Via Cassia, represent a naturalistic and landscape symbol of Tuscany. In this photograph, the group of cypresses forms a small grove of rhomboidal shape, which stands out with its intense green in the ochre and brown hilly landscape. These cypresses, introduced by the Etruscans, are famous for their beauty and harmony with the Tuscan countryside.
