This book highlights the close interactions between plants, plant
knowledge, politics, and social life in Padua during the age of
revolution. It explores the lives and thoughts of two brothers, the
lawyer Andrea Meneghini and the botanist GiuseppeMeneghini,
illustrating the unspoken dreams of progress and a new social
order, but also sheds light on the ambiguous relationship between
the Paduan elite and Austrian rule before the 1848 revolution. A
closer look at park designs, gardening associations and networks,
fl ower exhibitions, agricultural societies, organicist metaphors,
and botanical research on the organization of living bodies opens
up unexpected parallels between actors and ideas of two apparently
distant areas: botany and political economy.
