    In the 17th century, the hagiography and iconography of Bishop Iohannes Traguriensis were enriched by various members of Trogir’ s noble families. In this promotion of the cult of the local beato, Dominik Andreis stands out with his efforts: he was the author of an unpublished Litany in Croatian (1632), the instigator of publishing an Italian Vita by Giovanni Francesco Loredan (1648), and the sponsor of a three act drama by Girolamo Brusoni (1656), performed in Trogir with musical intermezzos and published two years later (1658)

    Calluna vulgaris communities of Lombardy and Piedmont upper Po Plain, developing on different Quaternary deposits, can be considered one of the most southern example of lowland heathlands in Europe. First outcomes of the vegetation surveys carried out with phytosociological methods, are reported. Vegetation types have been characterised and their relationships with different deposits have been sought. On older deposits major community types belong to Genistion Boch. 1943, while Sarothamnion Tx. in Prsg. 1949 thickets are quite rare. Comparisons with literature emphasized such floristic differences that could lead to their arrangement in a proper sintaxon. Field observations about dominant species behaviour allowed some insight about competitive strategies and autosuccessional patterns, which suggest the partial revision of their ecological meaning

    Il Centro Regionale per la Flora Autoctona della Lombardia.

    Lombardy is characterised by a remarkable variety of plant communities and landscapes that often show a high species richness with the presence of several endemic and rare species. However the region is one of the first areas for density of population, development rate and productive activities in Italy and Europe as well: very particular ecosystems (limestone prairies, lowland heathlands, peat bogs, etc.) often intermingle with towns, factories, quarries and so on. Beyond the traditional enterprises for the conservation of biological diversity based on the creation of protected areas, the regional administration has recently founded the “Centro per la Flora Autoctona” (Wild Plants Centre), whose main aim is the acquisition of knowledge and techniques to warrant the availability of wild shrubs and herbs suited to 1) environmental restoration, and 2) rare and/or endangered species conservation project
