Italian Tree Trimmers at Work

This morning we came out of the apartment to see cones blocking off some of the parking on our street. We couldn't figure out what was in store. Then on my way back into town from dropping off the girls at school I saw! The Italian Tree Trimmers had arrived! They give the trees such a substantial trimming that it is amazing they survive the winter but they are blooming every spring so they must be doing the right thing! View of our street with the lovely trees.
Lovely trees in front of our building.

And all the lovely green branches get carted away.
