"The classification of orchids has never been very stable, and even in the past the publication of a new work often changed, sometimes profoundly, the taxonomy in use at that time. In recent years ever more sophisticated techniques, especially the use of molecular markers, have accelerated this phenomenon and whoever approaches this fascinating family of plants can be bewildered by the almost continual nomenclatural changes.
For this reason I have, up to now, resisted various requests to write a book on the Italian orchids in the hope that studies in progress, including my own, would stabilize the classification: something I do not expect to happen in the near future. However, I found it impossible to refuse the proposal by the Ministry of Environment, via the Italian Botanical Society, to write a text to accompany the splendid plates of Mrs. Maury. This book should be considered not as a critical revision of what has been written to date on Italian orchids, but as an accompaniment to a pre-existing collection of illustrations. However, I have taken the opportunity presented to express my own opinions on certain controversial cases and to include some previously unpublished data."
