Among the places most loved by photographers in the Val d'Orcia there is certainly the cypress grove on the hills of San Quirico d'Orcia. The cypress, present throughout the area, is a very ancient plant which owes its name to the myth of the young Cyparissus loved by the god Apollo. Its presence in Tuscany dates back to several centuries before Christ when it was imported from Asia Minor and was particularly loved by the Etruscans up to the Renaissance painters who immortalised it in unforgettable works. This sort of veneration handed down over the centuries has led the cypress to become a characteristic element of the streets, property boundaries, farms and hills of the Val d'Orcia. The group of cypresses, suggestive and emblematic, in the midst of the bare hills of San Quirico d'Orcia, has suggested all sorts of legends and rumours even if its history is linked to the hunting 'roccolo', that is, a grove created by hunters to attract birds.
