      July 7, 2024

      The Quercia delle Checche, a majestic oak tree of almost 300 years old, stands proudly in the heart of Val d'Orcia, in the town of Le Checche, Pienza. With its impressive height of 19 meters, a trunk circumference of almost 5 meters and a crown that extends over more than 34 meters, this tree is a living monument of nature. Despite the cracks and broken branches over the years, the oak remains a symbol of strength and endurance. Recognized as Italy's first green monument, the Quercia delle Checche is an enchanting testament to time and a must-see for every nature lover.
