Italy is a varied and complete country, for its culture, history and architecture, but also from the naturalistic point of view. With its more than 20 national parks, and countless beautiful public and private gardens,the Peninsula is one of the world’s richest biodiversity countries, home to a great variety of flowers including rare and protected species, some of which can be admired only in Italy. But who decreed their names? What exactly are they and where can they be admired? Let’s find out together by making something of a “novelty” in the botanical field, that is a list of Italian regional flowers, sanctioned in 2018.
The plants and flowers that can be admired only in Italy: a bit more info
In 2018 over 500 botany experts from all over the world decreed what are considered the 20 regional Italian plants. The Initiative was promoted by the Italian Botanical Society (http://www.societabotanicaitaliana.it/) and coordinated by the scholar Lorenzo Peruzzi, director of the Botanical Garden and professor of biology at the University of Pisa. The Initiative was set up not only to give greater prominence to the Italian naturalistic treasures, but also and above all to promote their preservation and protection.
