Cycling
These trees are Mediterranean Cypresses (Cupressus sempervirens), known for their columnar shape and dense, tapering crown.
They are evergreen conifers typical of the Tuscan landscape, often used to create scenic rows and access driveways.
These specific specimens, with their narrow shape, are commonly called "male" cypresses or var. stricta.
Cypresses are the undisputed icon of the Tuscan landscape. Introduced to Italy by the Etruscans for ornamental and windbreak purposes, these slender conifers define the hills, the white roads, and the boundaries of farmsteads. Their tapered profile has become the symbol of the region worldwide.
