At the top of Bric Giardin there is a beautiful almost monumental downy oak, not for its size but for the particular shape that makes it look like an open hand with fingers stretched towards the sky. This plant was adopted by an elementary school in San Mauro to symbolize the 5 classes.

Hiking

The Bric Giardin is a mound with a monumental tree at the tip, a very easy path from Superga. The only difficulty: it is full of stones.
