Like every third Saturday of the month, the Botanical Garden and Museum of the University of Pisa offers a thematic guided tour dedicated to its precious plant collections to discover a unique botanical heritage that changes with the seasons. This month, the focus is on the exhibition recounting Giuseppe Casabona's journey to the island of Crete between 1590 and 1591 and the work of Georg Dyckman, who portrayed the most significant plants collected during his excursions.
