A b o u t O u r H e r i t a g e . . . N o T h a nksgiving Day in Italy?

Thanksgiving Day is a distinct American tradition created by pilgrims to commemorate a bountiful harvest in the New World; and Plymouth Rock would be merely another stone amongst two thousand year old Roman archaeological ruins. In Italy, Thanksgiving, La Festa del Ringraziamento, refers to a variety of religious holidays held throughout the year for patron saints. So, this month I’m going to introduce you to Prospero Alpini, a Venetian physician and botanist, born on Thanksgiving Day, in 1553. He was born at Marostica, in the Republic of Venice. In his youth he served in the Milanese army, but quickly went off to study medicine at Padua; and became a physician in Campo San Pietro (a small town in the Paduan territory). His interest in medicine was botanical, and to extend his knowledge of exotic plants he travelled to . After three years in Egypt and from a practice in the management of date palms, he seemed to have deduced the doctrine of the sexual difference in plants (which was adopted as the foundation of the Linnaean taxonomy system. He stated that, “the female date trees or palms do not bear fruit unless the branches of the male and female plants are mixed together; or unless the dust found in the male sheath or male flowers is sprinkled over the female flowers”. On his return he resided at as physi- cian to . Alpini’s best known work in De Plantis Aegypti liber (1592). His De Medicina Egyptiorum (1591) is said to contain the first account of the plant published in Europe. The genus Alpinia, belonging to the order Zingiberaceae (ginger family), was named after him by Linnaeus (the Swedish botanist and zoologist). ~ Bob Savino
