Italy — In Lombardy, the var. rufa is recorded from gardens and cultivated land

 feet altitude. It has also been found near Menaggio by Brockton Tomlin. In

 F'riuli. In Emilia from Reggio and Modena. In Tuscany from Pieve Fosciana near 

 Lucca, and Bagni di Lucca, and is also recorded from Campania, at Naples, by Costa. 



According, however, to Pollonera, this species is not found naturally in Italy, 

 but has been artificially transplanted into the Royal Park at Monza, and from 

 thence to the banks of the Gravellone near Pavia in Lombaidy; other records are 

 unreliable, probably due to erroneous identification.
