Default what is the name of the tree

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!

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

May be wrong but it also looks similar to a magnolia?
