As a plant expert and botany enthusiast, Ferdinando Panciatichi Ximenes d’Aragona designed the large green area surrounding Sammezzano Castle, approximately 65 hectares, which constitutes the current Historic Park. Around the ancient "ragnaia" (woodland) formed by a high forest of holm oaks, Ferdinando decided to place numerous rare and exotic plants. Their purpose was to serve the dual purpose of beautifying the exterior and gradually introducing visitors and guests to the wonders of the "Moorish" style of the Villa-Castle of Sammezzano. Among the exotic species introduced by Ferdinando, the most well-known are undoubtedly the majestic sequoias (Sequoia sempervirens and Sequoia gigantea), which, as demonstrated by the remarkable size they reached in just 150 years, certainly found the geological, soil, and climatic conditions favorable to their growth. Among these, the so-called "twin sequoia" stands out, as its trunk forks into two enormous vertical branches a few meters from the base. It is almost 54 meters tall and, with a circumference of 837 centimeters, the tallest sequoia in Italy. It is not only one of Italy's monumental trees, but also one of the select group of "150 trees of exceptional environmental or monumental value."

This monument is situated within the scenic natural reserve of Monte Ceceri in Fiesole, an area closely associated with Leonardo's early experiments and studies. Leonardo da Vinci is celebrated here with a stone engraving in Piazzale Leonardo, which references his famous work on the flight of birds. This location is historically significant as it is believed to be the testing ground for his flying machine, the "Grande Nibbio." The panoramic views from this spot not only offer a glimpse into Leonardo's life but also provide breathtaking vistas over Florence and the surrounding countryside. Visitors can follow the CAI path 7, starting from the Cave di Maiano, leading to this historically rich piazza. The walk through the nature reserve, past historical quarries, and up to Piazzale Leonardo is a perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage, making it a must-visit for those exploring the Via degli Dei.

In my opinion, the view of the city is best here.
