Guido Piovene (27 July 1907 – 12 November 1974) was an Italian writer and journalist.
Biography[edit]
Born in Vicenza into a noble family, Piovene graduated in philosophy in Milan and then devoted himself to journalism, notably collaborating with Corriere della Sera, La Stampa and Il Tempo.[1][2] He took part in the anti-fascist resistance with the Movimento Comunista d'Italia. According to Felice Chilanti's daughter, he wrote the statutes for its youth association COBA (so named in homage to Joseph Stalin's youthful pseudonym).[3]
His 1970 novel Le stelle fredde (The Cold Stars) won the Strega Prize.[1] In 1974 he co-founded the newspaper Il Giornale with Indro Montanelli.[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.
