Looking for Agricultural Experiment Stations

[February]

Hi,

Does anyone know of Agricultural Experiment Stations (or something comparable) in Italy studying fig trees? Would there be a list somewhere? I'm looking for information on Sicilian figs.

Thanks for any help.

Hi February,

Only because I've had some minor interaction with University of Palermo, I would aim you there. Unfortunately, the University's information on the web is not straightforward, at least for non-Italian speakers.

I would start with Christina Maria Bernardina Salmeri, the director of the Palermo Botanical Garden. (cristinamaria.salmeri@unipa.it). If this proves to be a dead end, maybe I can find an alternative.

Can you please shoot me an email at parkergambino@gmail.com regardless of the outcome? I'm new to the ItalGen site and I'm not sure every feature is working correctly for me. Thanks.

Parker

Parker,

Thank you for taking the time to post; it's appreciated. I'm in the process of putting together an e-mail to the gentleman suanj mentioned, but if that doesn't work out, will contact Christina Maria Bernardina Salmeri at the University of Palermo.

Thanks again, and good luck on your family research.
