Location: Castel San Pietro Romano, Rome, Lazio, Italy
This monumental oak is thought to be at least 500 years old, stands 22 meters tall and has a circumference of approximately six metres. Legend has it that the great sixteenth-century musician Pierluigi da Palestrina went to these woods to draw inspiration for his compositions. It is visible by moving slightly north from the path that runs through the Valle delle Cannuccette.
