Presentation of Grandi alberi - Alberografie a Nord-Ovest by Tiziano Fratus

A journey to the northwest, a broad arch of woodlands, rock and water that sweeps from the Alps to the Mediterranean, from the Ao- sta Valley, through Piedmont to Liguria, on the border between Italy and France. A natural crescent of diverse ecosystems and climates, the Po river plain and its tributaries, lakes and tablelands, larch wo- ods, vineyards, beech woods, olive groves and chestnut woods, rice fields, and fir forests, industrial and port cities, and natural reserves: 57 itineraries for the tree admirer in all of us.
