The arboretum at Pitiana is situated
very close to the villa. It is one of the most important arboretums
in Tuscany, together with the one in Vallombrosa. Each tree has
a sign at its base which indicates the name of the plant in Italian
and in Latin, and a brief description of the plant and its origin.
Here is a list of the plants to be found in the arboretum. |
