Faggi di Benevento, Monumental beech trees in Mallare, Italy

Faggi di Benevento is a row of six bicentennial European beech trees, originally left uncut as seed-bearing "matricine", on the slopes of Bric Praboè in the municipality of Mallare, Savona province. The largest, formed of fused trunks, measured 34.5 metres in height and 7.7 metres in girth; since 2021 it lies partly on the ground.

The beeches are named after Cascina Benevènto, a farmstead whose ruins lie a few minutes away along an old cart track through the woods. They began as a row of six "matricine", beeches left uncut so their fruit could regenerate the forest, and the owner kept them intact as a local attraction. Since 2021 the largest, 34.5 m tall with a 7.7 m circumference, lies partly on the ground.

The beeches are named after Cascina Benevènto, a farmstead whose ruins lie a few minutes away along an old cart track through the woods. The owner kept the trees standing to draw visitors to the area, and the name passed from the farm to the beeches.

The beeches stand on the slopes of Bric Praboè above Mallare, in the Savona province; trails reach them from Vado Ligure, Finale Ligure, Vezzi Portio, Mallare and Quiliano. From the trees the route continues to the Rocche Bianche, Colle del Termine, the clearing with the Cappella di San Giacomo and the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri. The ruins of Cascina Benevènto are a few minutes away along an old cart track through the woods.

The giant beech, formed of fused trunks, measured 34.5 metres tall with a 7.7-metre circumference before it partly fell in 2021 under the weight of age. It now lies partly on the ground, showing the cycle of nature.
