You're standing at the Hundred Horse Chestnut, on the eastern slope of Mount Etna, near Sant'Alfio. At first glance it might look like a small cluster of trees. But look down at the ground. All those thick trunks share the same roots underneath. So this is one single tree, a sweet chestnut, and it's considered the largest and oldest of its kind in the world.
