CHESTNUT OF GIAGLIONE

A really impressive specimen, old but still in good vegetative condition and with a high landscape and historical value. The trunk has a diameter of 2.5 m at chest height and can be considered one of the largest chestnut trees in Piedmont. The plant stands in the meadow to the north of the parish church of San Vincenzo dating back to the fifteenth century, which hosted regular religious representations until the early nineteenth century.
