Caption in [alternate language]

Nella Maremma Livornese, nel sud della Toscana, c'è un bel viale diritto fiancheggiato da cipressi centenari. Lunga 5 chilometri, questa strada che porta da San Guido al borgo di Bolgheri fu costruita all'inizio del 1800 ed ha ancora 2000 cipressi. Il viale ed i suoi cipressi sono protagonisti della famosa ode "Davanti San Guido" di Giosuè Carducci, il primo Italiano a vincere un Premio Nobel nel 1906:

"I cipressi che a Bólgheri alti e schietti van da San Guido in duplice filar ... "

Questa poesia è ancor oggi studiata da tutti gli studenti italiani per cui questi cipressi sono tra gli alberi più famosi d'Italia.
