Platano dei Cento Bersaglieri, Oriental plane tree in Platano, Caprino Veronese, Italy

The Platano dei Cento Bersaglieri is an Oriental plane tree (Platanus orientalis) standing in the centre of the Platano hamlet of Caprino Veronese. It rises over 25 metres, its trunk measures about 10.50 metres around, and its crown covers some 300 square metres, making it Italy's second-largest plane tree. Hollows open in its branches and trunk.

The plane tree is dated to 1370. In the winter of 1944, German troops thinned its crown, fearing partisans could use its branches and cavities for ambushes. It stands in the centre of the hamlet of Platano, a frazione of Caprino Veronese.

The tree earned its name in 1937 when a hundred Bersaglieri soldiers sheltered within its branches during military exercises in the area. This story ties the location to Italian military heritage and transforms it into a living monument of that moment.

The tree stands in the centre of the hamlet of Platano, a frazione of Caprino Veronese, at the foot of the Monte Baldo area. It is a roadside landmark rather than a park, so visitors see it on foot while passing through the village. The trunk's 10.5-metre girth is best measured and photographed from the open ground around it.

The plane tree is a Platanus orientalis, the Oriental plane. Its canopy covers about 300 square metres, and in 1944 German troops thinned its branches for fear that partisans might use them for ambushes.
