The correct answer is "the distance from the treeline to the wall is ten paces".
Why is this significant?
This is supposed to be a fortified city aligned with Florence.
It's fortified out of necessity.
Renaissance Italy was a time of almost constant warfare between city-states and their respective hegemonies.
This city would be required to defend itself.
The trees would provide cover to attacking armies--up to TEN PACES FROM THE WALL.
These trees shouldn't be there. They wouldn't be there.
The garrison commander would have conscripted civilian labor and pushed that treeline back a good half mile or so.
If you want people to feel immersed in Renaissance Italy, you need to not make stupid mistakes like this.
