Alberi monumentali in Piemonte

Monumental trees are silent witnesses of the succession of a thousand or more seasons and, with them, of the evolution of socio-economic conditions and traditions, of wars and of the most salient events that have marked the history of our people in past centuries. They are living presences, treasures of popular memory, which with their beauty and majesty embellish landscapes and make parks and noble homes, places of worship, rural environments and inhabited centers particularly evocative. Presences that must be protected and preserved with adequate and timely interventions aimed at slowing down the natural process of decay, typical of every senescent organism which has begun, albeit slowly, the conclusion of its biological cycle. This book is mainly aimed at those who, fascinated by these large and experienced arboreal specimens, intend to approach them to appreciate their peculiarities and verify their vegetative conditions, identifying, where present, those adversities which if not counteracted could in the short term put their integrity at risk, stability and therefore survival itself. particularly evocative parks and noble homes, places of worship, rural environments, inhabited centres.
