Ethnobotanical study on the medicinal plants in the Mainarde Mountains (central-southern Apennine, Italy)
Wild food plants used in traditional vegetable mixtures in Italy
Ethnobotanical study of Loloh: Traditional herbal drinks from Bali (Indonesia)
Traditional Uses of Plants in the Tolfa–Cerite–Manziate Area (Central Italy)
Traditional knowledge of local plant uses is rapidly fading away, especially in rural Mediterranean areas. We carried out ethnobotanical research in 2010-2011 in order to investigate the local knowledge of wild plants in the Tolfa–Cerite–Manziate area of Italy (Latium, district of Rome). We carried out a total of 45 semi-structured interviews with farmers, herders, and fishers. Here, a simple diachronic comparison is made between the current stud…
Perceived health properties of wild and cultivated food plants in local and popular traditions of Italy: A review
Ethnophytotherapeutical research in the high Molise region (Central-Southern Italy)
Background In the years 2003-2005 research was carried out concerning ethno-medicine in the high Molise (central- southern Italy), a region that has been the object of very little investigation from the ethnobotanical point of view. Upper Molise is a continuation of the mountain profiles of the Abruzzi Appenines: a series of hills, steep slopes and deep fluvial valleys making communications difficult. Primordial traditions (e.g. harvest feasts) a…
Plants traditionally used to make brooms in several European countries
BACKGROUND: The research was carried out within the course of two years (2005-2006) in four countries from southern, southeast and eastern parts of Europe: Bulgaria, Italy, Macedonia and Romania. The data are collected mainly from Bulgaria and Italy and are compared with those from Macedonia and Romania. METHODS: The information was gathered largely from literature as well as field collected data and interviewed informants. A brief questionnaire,…
Ethnobotanical remarks on Central and Southern Italy
BACKGROUND: The present paper is a brief survey on the ethnobotanical works published by the Authors since 1981, concerning the research carried out in some southern and central Italian regions. Before Roman domination these territories were first inhabited by local people, while the southern areas were colonized by the Greeks. These different cultural contributions left certain traces, both in the toponyms and in the vernacular names of the plan…
Contribution to the knowledge of the veterinary science and of the ethnobotany in Calabria region (Southern Italy)
Background A series of preliminary research projects on plants used in Calabria (Southern Italy) in veterinary science and in other ethno-botanical fields (minor nourishment, domestic and handicraft sector) was carried out in the last twenty years. From the ethno-botanical point of view, Calabria is one of the most interesting region, since in the ancient times it was subject to the dominant cultures of several people (Greeks, Romans, Byzantines,…
Household dyeing plants and traditional uses in some areas of Italy
Background This paper reports the results of investigations carried out from 1977 to today in some areas of Italy (Latium, Marche, Abruzzo and to a limited extent in Sardinia) concerning traditional uses of dyeing plants in the household. Results Twenty-nine plants are described, distributed in 23 families, and for each species the vernacular name, the way it is used and the locations of traditional use are given. Other plants used in the past in…
Food, flavouring and feed plant traditions in the Tyrrhenian sector of Basilicata, Italy
BACKGROUND: Research was carried out in the years 2002-2003 into food, flavouring and feed folk traditions of plants in the Tyrrhenian part of the Basilicata region (southern Italy). This area was colonized in ancient times by Greeks. Data was collected through field interviews, especially of farmers. METHODS: Field data were collected through structured interviews. The informants, numbered 49, belonged to families which had strong links with the…
Folk phytotherapeutical plants from Maratea area (Basilicata, Italy)
Ethnobotanical and ethnomedicinal uses of plants in the district of Acquapendente (Latium, Central Italy)
Agricultural, domestic and handicraft folk uses of plants in the Tyrrhenian sector of Basilicata (Italy)
Background Research was carried out into agricultural and domestic-handicraft uses in folk traditions in the Tyrrhenian sector of the Basilicata region (southern Italy), as it is typically representative of ethnobotanical applications in the Mediterranean area. From the point of view of furnishing a botanical support for the study of local "material culture" data was collected through field interviews of 49 informants, most of whom were farmers. …
