The pine tree, with its wide, umbrella-shaped crowns, is a symbol of the Italian summer. It grows on the coast where its roots defy the salty wind, and is often found near historic villas and ruins. Its branches evoke memories of sunny days, bright blue skies, clinking cicadas and the scent of resin that fills the air.







The pine tree symbolizes the lightness of life. Its branches dance in the wind as if to remind us not to take life so seriously. It represents permanence and protection, as it stands the test of time with a lifespan of up to 200 years. The pine tree represents creativity and inspiration, its umbrella-like shape has a unique aesthetic that can be found in paintings and sculptures throughout Italian art history. And finally, the pine tree is an everlasting reminder of the south and the extension of summer.
