In the photo, the exhibition venue: Historical Hall of the Library of the Botanical Garden of Padua in 1978, from the Phaidra collection “Botanical Garden of Padua: 1961-1980”.
The show comes to life through the portraits of botanists and their adventurous history looking for plants in faraway countries in Asia and the former Italian colonies in Africa. These stories are documented by photographs and books that through their images take us to evocative and fascinating places.
