The first movement of Resphigi's "Pines and Fountains of Rome" is called "I pini di Villa Borghese", and, according to the ever-reliable Wikipedia, portrays children marching and playing in the pine groves of the Borghese gardens. This was just such a grove.

Umbrella Pines at the Borghese Gardens in Rome. Wikipedia tells me that these were actually the ones Respighi had in mind! Even better!

There was supposed to a letterbox near this statue, but though I pulled an awful lot of junk out of various stumps that were near various groups of three trees 20 steps from various leaning trees, I never found it.
