I saw these tall bushy-top trees all over Italy, especially around Florence. I asked a guide what they were called and he called them "pino" which of course translates to "pine". They don't look anything line the pine trees I know, but they do have dark green needles, so I guess that is what they are but a different variety than I know.
Of course the tall skinny trees on the horizon are Italian cypress, famous as the archetype tree of Tuscany.
Perhaps the pine trees have just been trimmed of their branches? They make for a great photo.
