Cover Story: Starting from a drawing by Alfred Guesdon (1808–1876), named “Pise. Vue prise au dessus du Campo Santo”, the paper presents the evidence of the living giraffe displayed in the Botanic Garden of Pisa. The Botanic Garden of Pisa, established in 1543, has a long, richly documented history. After two moves, it settled in its final location in 1591, a short distance south of the monumental complex in Piazza dei Miracoli. At the end of the sixteenth century, the Botanic Garden of Pisa incorporated a museum with various natural history specimens, which became increasingly important, especially during the 19th century under the direction of Paolo Savi. For research purposes, he hosted in the Botanic Garden some specimens owned by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, such as the giraffe discussed in the paper. View this paper
