An imagery built on the tradition of nature illustrations, which perhaps nowhere as in Bologna saw such an extraordinary growth, and which would one day turn into the photographs and documentaries we all know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"padding-right:0px;padding-left:0px;border:0px;font-size:18px;line-height:inherit;font-family:'Cormorant Garamond',

founded in 1568 to provide students with a practical tool for cultivating and analyzing the plants treated during the lessons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp
