Personal archive and herbaria

The paper documentation produced by Raddi is scattered among various offices and institutions.

Part of his archive is currently kept in the botanical headquarters of the Library of Sciences of the University of Florence, but the methods and timing of the acquisition are still uncertain. It is likely that there was a donation from the heirs around the 1840s, following the interest of Grand Duke Leopold II and coinciding with the arrival in Florence, as director of the Botanical Museum, of Filippo Parlatore. The papers are divided into five binders and include correspondence, deeds and documents, manuscripts (notes on fungi, pteridophytes and Brazilian flora, writings on zoology, memoirs of trips made to Brazil and Egypt).

Other correspondences of Raddi are kept in six different institutions, namely:

  • National Central Library of Florence (146);
  • Galileo Museum in Florence (19);
  • State archives of Florence (20);
  • University Library of Pisa (9);
  • Vatican Apostolic Library (2);
  • Library of the Intronati, Siena (24);
  • National Academy of Sciences called XL.

Most of Raddi’s botanical collections are in the herbaria of the universities of Florence, Pisa and Bologna.
