VERNERO?OCLC Number / Unique Identifier:558753573.FIRST EDITION OF THE FINEST ITALIAN WORK ON FRUIT. "It is extremely rare and its interest is enhanced by the knowledge that it is one of the few examples outside of England in which aquatint has been used successfully" (Dunthorne). "Before Gallesio began this enormous work, published in fourty-one parts from 1817 to 1839, he had already published his Traité du Citrus, which explains the reason for the lack of oranges and lemons in a catalogue of Italian fruit. Gallesio's fruit garden in Savona was not his main occupation, for he was a lawyer and a civil servant as well as a botanist, whose experiments on the development of varieties of fruit were quoted later by Charles Darwin. Gallesio's Pomona was a major contribution to the study of pomology in Italy" (Raphael Oak Spring Pomona).
