Giuseppe Vaccai (Pesaro, August 21, 1836 -1912) was an Italian painter, mainly of landscapes.
Biography[edit]
His father was a well-known music composer, and Vaccai did not dedicate himself to painting until after twenty years of age. The family sent him to the Sapienza University of Rome to train as a lawyer. But in Rome, his fellow Pesarese, Cavaliere Carlo Gavardini, introduced him to the landscape artist, Jean-Achille Benouville who took him in his studio. His canvases reproduce the pine forests of Ravenna as well as the valleys and coasts of central Italy. Among his works are: Il fosso Ghiaia a Ravenna; Sulle sponde del Nera; Intorno alla Pineta; The Adriatic Beach in Pesaro; and Albacina. In 1870 at Parma, he exhibited a Vallala di Poschiavo dal monte Cavagna. In 1877 at Naples, he exhibited a Fosso Ghiaia nella Pineta di Ravenna and a Paesaggio. Among his works exhibited in Turin, Milan, Rome and Bologna, were: In riva all' Adriatico; Sulle colline; Marina di Pesaro a levante; Marina di Pesaro verso Cattolica; Le foci di Piobbico; Stazione di Foligno; and Appennino Metaurense. He became an associate member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and in his last decade became a deputy in parliament.[1]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
