The Quercia delle Checche sent on June 27, 2021 (0:10) by Pinitti. 68 comments, 915 views. [retina]

at 18mm, 1/60 f/8.0, ISO 100, hand held.

Questa meravigliosa quercia solitaria si trova nel Comune di Pienza, nel cuore della Val d'Orcia. La pianta, che ha almeno 370 anni, è alta 22 metri e d'estate vanta una splendida chioma che può raggiungere un diametro di 34 metri. La checca, o cecca, è il nome con la quale in Toscana si indica la gazza. L'albero è anche conosciuto come Quercia delle Streghe, perché secondo un'antica leggenda in passato era il luogo in cui esse si incontravano in occasione dei sabba, un convegno durante il quale venivano compiute pratiche magiche e riti blasfemi. È fra le poche piante ad essersi salvata dal disboscamento effettuato nella zona per la realizzazione del tratto di ferrovia Roma-Firenze. Nel 2017 ha ottenuto il riconoscimento di primo monumento verde d'Italia.

Dear Pinitti but you know that the oldest tree in Italy and perhaps in Europe the Patriarch of the Olive Tree of Luras 3800 years has been saved over the centuries thanks to the legend that under its peaks alberga the Devil, these poor trees are saved only by reason of curses if not man would cut them sitting in avid way as it is , splendid the photo and the caption always very good original and exhaustive in the captions, bravo, a dear greeting, giuseppe

I'm afraid you're right, dear Joseph, but these curses are welcome if the result preserves such environmental goods, bye.
