About
The entire map of Italy is made up of trees.
Nestled on the side of a hill in Umbria is an unusual sight: a gigantic map of Italy, made entirely out of pine needles. Trees line the hills and mountains of Umbria in patches, so if one were to come upon this patch of trees in particular, they might accidentally pass it off as one of the many. But Bosco Italia is no ordinary cluster of pine needles: it was planted there to form the shape of a map of Italy. This is not the only example of this in the world. In Northern Minnesota, “The Minnesota Forest” has been shaped by a rogue forester over decades to look like its home state.
