Pine of Naples, Historical tree in Posillipo, Naples, Italy
The Pine of Naples, a stone pine specimen, stood near the church of Sant'Antonio, offering views over the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.
The original pine tree, planted after 1855, remained a central element of Naples until 1984 when health problems led to its removal.
The tree became a symbol of Naples through photographs by Giacomo Brogi and appeared in numerous postcards representing the city landscape.
Following the removal of the original tree, environmental organization Legambiente planted a new specimen in 1995 at the same location.
The stone pine required 36 months for its cones to mature, producing edible pine nuts that were harvested and distributed throughout the region.
