Note: Bonafede is said to have had a garden of simples at Padua 
as early as 1533, which was financed by the Venetian Senate. In- 
struction of students began there in 1540. The present Garden is 
nearly surrounded by the Alicorno Canal which, since 1575, has 
supplied water for irrigation and for some seventeen fountains.

Note: Saccardo (1. c.) states that in 1779 Eutichio Barone and 
Giuseppe Tineo-Ragusa planted a small garden near the fortifica- 
tion of Porta-Carini, Palermo, but that the actual botanic garden, 
near the Villa Giulia, was not inaugurated until 1789 under the 
direction of Tineo-Ragusa. A letter from the present (1938) di- 
rector gives 1780 as the beginning date for G. Tineo-Ragusa.
