Liguria


The room called "Liguria" actually contained the exhibitions of Genoa, Ferrara, Pallanza and Cremona. The Genoese display was the richest, with objects coming from the University, from the Istituto Idrografico [Hydrographic Institute] and from the Ansaldo Naval Shipyards. The Botanical Gardens of Ferrara, directed by Eugenio Baroni, sent the 50 volumes of Antonio Campana's herbarium, while Pallanza and Cremona contributed very little: the former only an etching of the steamship "Verbano", the latter some instruments owned by the Daniele Manin High School and sent by Prof. Cisonio.
