The project PaCE-Plants and culture: seeds of the cultural heritage of Europe (Culture Programme 2007-2013, EACEA 09/2006) promotes the green cultural heritage common to Europe and was included in the first projects approved to develop the Intercultural Dialogue, central topic and European priority in the 2008.

Their interdisciplinary research focused on the links between European plants and traditions, art and history, including plant introductions, exchanges of plant material and forgotten traditions.

Abstract
The project PaCE-Plants and culture: seeds of the cultural heritage of Europe (Culture Programme 2007-2013, EACEA 09/2006) promotes the green cultural heritage common to Europe and was included in the first projects approved to develop the Intercultural Dialogue, central topic and European priority in the 2008. The main ideas guiding this project were the improvement and dissemination of knowledge of the different botanical cultures in the history of European countries, and the safeguarding of their common cultural heritage. Actually, plants were first examples of multiculturalism, as they make possible the integration of different countries in such a comprehensive way that it is still only theoretical when dealing with other issues. The PaCE's multidisciplinary work group was constituted by botanists, archaeologists and experts of museology and scientific dissemination of eleven countries: Italy, Spain, Poland and Norway as partners, supporting museums and university laboratories from France, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, San Marino, Greece and Turkey. Their interdisciplinary research focused on the links between European plants and traditions, art and history, including plant introductions, exchanges of plant material and forgotten traditions. Most contribution was given by archaeobotany, which is by definition the study of the past relationships between humans and plants. Plant remains found in archaeological sites are key evidence from which the past territory management and plant uses, the plant cover and environmental reconstructions are inferred.Pubblicazioni consigliate
