The Monticchiello cypress trees, found near Tuscany's Val d'Orcia village, line a famous winding road often photographed for its beauty. These trees symbolize protection and are iconic in Tuscan landscapes, inspiring artists and featuring in films like "The English Patient". Spring is the best time to visit for photography.

Photography Tips

To capture the tree-lined road effectively, a telephoto lens is essential. The golden hour offers the most beautiful light for photography. In the evening, around sunset, the long shadows can add extra depth and drama to your composition.

Travel Information
