A solitary, centuries-old cypress on the hill above Fiesole offers a classic Tuscan subject framed against rolling hills and distant Florence. Shoot dawn or dusk for warm side-light and long shadows; foggy mornings add mood. Easily reached from Via del Bargellino with roadside parking and a short walk — no entry fee. Weekdays and early morning avoid visitors. The tree’s silhouette and the panorama make it a quintessential landscape/composition anchor.
