Antonio Baldacci (1867 - 1950) was an Italian scholar, botanist, and geographer.

Life

Baldacci carried out field research in the southern Balkans from the end of the 19th century onward.

After achieving a degree in Zoology in 1891, and following two lecturing posts in Botany and Geography at the University of Bologna in 1889 and 1901 respectively, Baldacci became an assistant at the Botanical Institute where he remained until 1902, after which he transferred to Rome to teach Political and Colonial Geography at the Diplomatic-Colonial School connected to the University.

During his time in Rome many attended his lectures, including ministers and prominent Roman politicians, as well as artists and intellectuals such as Gabriele D’Annunzio, the painters Giulio Aristide Sartorio and Francesco Paolo Michetti, and the painter and sculptor Costantino Barbella.

He published many articles on Albanian and Balkan flora, as well as several monographs on Albania. [2]

Baldacci published the exsiccata-like series Flora exsiccata Crnagorae. [3]

Baldacci organized a committee which supported the Montenegrin Greens during and after the Christmas Uprising, until at least 1921. [4]

The standard author abbreviation Bald. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name. [5]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Exsiccata</span> Published sets of preserved botanical specimens distributed with printed labels

Exsiccata is a work with "published, uniform, numbered set[s] of preserved specimens distributed with printed labels". Typically, exsiccatae refer to numbered collections of dried herbarium specimens or preserved biological samples published in several duplicate sets with a common theme or title, such as Lichenes Helvetici. Exsiccatae are regarded as scientific contributions of the editor(s) with characteristics from the library world and features from the herbarium world. Exsiccatae works represent a special method of scholarly communication. The text in the printed matters/published booklets is basically a list of labels (schedae) with information on each single numbered exsiccatal unit. Extensions of the concept occur.
