    The larch, perhaps millennial, is known simply as "Lou Merze Gros" (the big larch)

      Lou merze gros, or the big larch, seems to be the longest-lived tree in Piedmont. In fact, he is attributed an age of 650 years and has a trunk circumference of 6.6 m and a height of 23 m.

        Incredible secular larch, with an estimated dating of more than 600 years ... remarkable its size, certainly very suggestive in autumn with the change of color of the needles
