The Unimore Botanical Garden is located in the center of Modena (Emilia Romagna Region, Italy). It has been founded in 1758 by Francesco III d’Este, which assigned a portion of Ducal Gardens to build a Botanic Garden, with the aim of showing curative plants to medical doctors. It became part of University of Modena in 1772, taking on many roles over time: garden for plant collection, acclimatation and propagation, museum for the collection of botanical findings, place of study and research of botanical sciences. It has recently undergone an extensive restoration and enhancement project. A first phase of the restoration project involved only some architectural structures, which had been damaged by the 2012 earthquake (fundings by the Emilia- Romagna Region and UNIMORE).

Abstract
The Unimore Botanical Garden is located in the center of Modena (Emilia Romagna Region, Italy). It has been founded in 1758 by Francesco III d’Este, which assigned a portion of Ducal Gardens to build a Botanic Garden, with the aim of showing curative plants to medical doctors. It became part of University of Modena in 1772, taking on many roles over time: garden for plant collection, acclimatation and propagation, museum for the collection of botanical findings, place of study and research of botanical sciences. It has recently undergone an extensive restoration and enhancement project. A first phase of the restoration project involved only some architectural structures, which had been damaged by the 2012 earthquake (fundings by the Emilia- Romagna Region and UNIMORE).
