  IMGP0952.jpg - [it]Quest'albero era sopravvissuto a 4 fulmini, il primo nel 1060 dC circa, prima di cadere nel 1970 circa. Le cadute, dovute al carico della neve che li sbilancia o al vento, sono la principale causa di morte degli esemplari più alti e sono frequenti quando il terreno è ammorbidito da pesanti piogge.[en]This tree survived 4 lightning strikes, first of them in 1060 AD, before falling down around 1970. The fall, induced by wind or unbalance caused by snow, is the typical death cause for higher trees and is frequent when soil is softened by heavy rains.
