Tuscany The Cypress Roads in Tuscany

The most popular photos of Tuscany feature a winding road lined by Cypress trees. There are many of these all over Tuscany, but two of the best are south of Pienza.

• A winding road (SP 88) on a hillside east of Monticchiello. It is visible from Monticcheillo.
• A winding road on a lane off SP40, west of La Foce. It is visible from the La Foce estate (and the nearby road).

Cypress trees were planted along roadsides in Italy to commemorate the dead from the World Wars.

There are many other beautiful Cypress-lined roads in Tuscany. Post your photos here if you found some of them.
