This book highlights the close interactions between plants, plant knowledge, politics,Â and social life in Padua during the age of revolution. It explores the lives andÂ thoughts of two brothers, the lawyer Andrea Meneghini and the botanist Giuseppe Meneghini, illustrating the unspoken dreams of progress and a new socialÂ order, but also sheds light on the ambiguous relationship between the PaduanÂ elite and Austrian rule before the 1848 revolution. A closer look at park designs,Â gardening associations and networks, fl ower exhibitions, agricultural societies,Â organicist metaphors, and botanical research on the organization of livingÂ bodies opens up unexpected parallels between actors and ideas of two apparentlyÂ distant areas: botany and political economy.
