This is an olive tree that is in the front garden of a house on the way to Trevi. The owner has pruned carefully over a number of years to achieve this shape.
Olives are ideal for topiary but I rather think this is an exception in Italy where most are pruned for fruit and not form.
However the idea of a hillside covered with topiaried (?) olives is quite appealing. Maybe next year....
