First record of Icerya seychellarum and confirmed occurrence of Aulacaspis tubercularis (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha) in Italy
2020
The Seychelles scale, Icerya seychellarum (Westwood, 1855) (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Monophlebidae), is reported for the first time in Italy. Moreover, the occurrence of the white mango scale, Aulacaspis tubercularis (Newstead, 1906) (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Diaspididae), firstly reported in 1990 on mango trees growing outdoors in a nursery near Milazzo (Messina province, Sicily), and then intercepted in 2013 on mango plants imported from Florida (USA) to the Botanical Garden in Padova (Italy), is confirmed. Both species were found in two Sicilian mango orchards located in the province of Messina. Their introduction is most likely due to the orchards planting using infested mango nursery pla…
On the real identity of the Strelitzia cultivated in Sicily’s historic gardens
2016
The authors, on the basis of field observations and literature search, conclude that all tree-like plants of Strelitzia grown in Sicily belong to Strelitzia nicolaii. Therefore Strelitzia alba (= Strelitzia augusta), which was generally considered to be commonly cultivated in Sicily since the nineteenth century, if it ever was cultivated on the island, is not currently found there. The Lectotypes of the names S. nicolaii and S. alba are here designated.

Contamination from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the soil of a botanic garden localized next to a former manufacturing gas plant in Pale…
2010
The Botanical Garden lies within the city of Palermo, a few meters away from one of the largest unused Manufacturing Gas Plant in Sicily. The total concentrations of PAHs (23 compounds) in the soil of Botanical Garden ranged from 947 to 18,072 microg/kg. The wide range of PAH concentrations (RSD=84%) found in the soil samples indicates heterogeneous levels of contamination in the area and this can be explained by considering the different tree distributions which prevents the homogeneous deposition of pollutants on the soil. Soils collected in the Botanical Garden generally showed the highest PAH concentrations, being almost 2-3 times higher than the concentration samples obtained in the ur…
Per un’arte dell’equilibrio in moto. Giardini e parchi, politiche urbane, azione pubblica e azioni comunitarie a New York City
2017
Abstract Le dinamiche del Real estate, a NYC, snodo della trasformazione e dell’economia urbana, si scontrano e misurano con uno dei capitoli rappresentativi della partecipazione: il processo di edificazione dei Parchi e dei Giardini che vengono qui considerati come “fronte di resistenza” al consumo di suolo e come generatori di percorsi civici. Dall’idea, alla gestione, infatti, e con varie declinazioni, i giardini sono da sempre frutto di azioni bottom-up. In un contesto assai differente da quello europeo (sia per la compagine sociale attiva, sia per gli “stili” di pianificazione), la relazione tra lo sviluppo immobiliare e il tessuto dei parchi e dei giardini diviene occasione per esplor…
Environmental Stewardship, Moral Psychology and Gardens
2013
Vast and pervasive environmental problems such as climate change and biodiversity loss call every individual to active stewardship. Their magnitude and causal and strategic structures, however, pose powerful challenges to our moral psychology. Stewardship may feel overburdening, and appear hopeless. This may lead to widespread moral and political disengagement. This article proposes a resolve to garden practices as a way out of that danger, and describes the ways in which it will motivate individuals to so act as to coordinate on behavioural patterns that will significantly alleviate grave, but seemingly distant and intractable environmental quandaries.
Aigua, irrigació, hortes i patrimoni al territori valencià.
2014
L'aigua és un deis recursos naturals més importants per a la vida quotidiana de I'ésser huma. I el País Valencia és un territori de I'area mediterrania caracteritzat per la variabilitat i escassetat deis seus recursos hidraulics. Els espais de regadiu que conté són per tant un veritable exponent del patrimoni cultural del qual pot estar orgullós un poble, perque encara són vius. De fet, la cultura de I'aigua transcendeix allo que representa el patrimoni material i referma també el seu caracter immaterial quan s'endinsa en I'ambit de la tradició oral, els sabers i les formes de ser com a poble.
