The holm oak of Faltognano is a monumental tree that is over a century old and is located near the church of Santa Maria Assunta in Faltognano, in the municipality of Vinci in the province of Florence. It is a specimen of holm oak (Quercus ilex) that has a trunk circumference of 4.60 m, is 11 m tall and dates back to before 1750 according to the inventory of monumental trees of Tuscany (progressive n°47). Over time it has undergone numerous prunings and interventions that have partially reduced its size and grandeur and altered its shape, which was once more dome-shaped. The plant has suffered from fungal attacks in recent decades and requires periodic care; at the moment various safety systems have been installed such as ropes, supports and a railing around the trunk to prevent branches from falling and limit access. In 2007 it received the Touring Club Award, an award announced by the TCI consuls of Tuscany for monumental trees. It is the symbol of the community of Faltognano and is located a short distance from the birthplace of Leonardo Da Vinci and the center of the city of Vinci; a center that can be seen inside the wonderful panoramic view that can be enjoyed from the foot of the tree.
