I have seen this tree in a garden in Toscana, Italy, but do not know the

name of the tree. Here is the photo of the cone - which is rather unusual.

Does somebody know the name of the tree?

Thanks in advance!

Something is saying Rhododendron seed capsule to me. Which Rhodo I have no

idea.

Thank you, everybody! As they answered me in another group, it is a seed capsule of a southern magnolia (M.Grandiflora)
