Quercia del Tasso, Oak tree on Janiculum Hill, Rome, Italy.
The Quercia del Tasso stands near a fountain on Janiculum Hill, providing a natural landmark visible from multiple vantage points throughout Rome.
This centuries-old oak tree bears the name of Italian poet Torquato Tasso, who frequently sat beneath its branches during the 16th century.
The tree and adjacent fountain feature inscriptions from Tasso's poem Gerusalemme Liberata, connecting nature with Italian literary heritage.
Visitors can reach the tree by taking bus lines 115 or 870 to Janiculum Hill, with the site open for public viewing every day.
The 1929 fountain near the tree resulted from a competition to replace cast iron fountains with artistic designs throughout Rome.
