The Herbarium of Alessandro Felisi, a doctor and florist from Ferrara, is the most significant historical collection within the University of Ferrara Herbarium. The Felisi Herbarium is the result of numerous personal collections (approx. 3,000 taxa) and collaborations with Italian and foreign botanists from the first half of the 19th century. The taxa collected and identified by Felisi represent the wild flora of the main habitats in the Ferrara area, although they also include plants cultivated in the University’s Botanical Garden and in various gardens (including his own). Many specimens collected in the early 20th century by other botanists, in particular Pietro Revedin, Angelo Ferioli (author of contributions to Schedae ad Floram Italicam Exsiccatam), Caro Massalongo and Augusto Béguinot, subsequently became an integral part of the Herbarium. Following the most recent reorganisation and review in 2008, the Felisi collection now comprises a total of 9,214 specimens grouped into 53 bundles, divided by family.

Mandralisca malacological collection (Museo Mandralisca, Cefalù, Palermo, Italy)
This dataset represents the results of a digitization effort on the malacological collection originally assembled by Baron Enrico Pirajno di Mandralisca and housed in the Museo Mandralisca, Cefalù (Palermo, Italy). The work performed on this collection includes attribution of new univocal specimen numbers, the photographic imaging of each sample together with any available labels, the recording of the sample information in a database and the taxonomic revision of each entry. The database contains 2626 entries, representing 1000 taxa of specific and subspecific rank across five classes of Mollusca (Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Cephalopoda, Polyplacophora, Scaphopoda). Both local (i.e., Sicilian) and exotic species are represented. Once published, the digitized version of this sizeable, scientifically and historically significant collection will be available for study to all, potentially offering valuable data on historical biodiversity patterns.

Rhizobacteria promoting plant growth and bacteria degrading toxic pollutants (CNR-IBBR-SUB)
The dataset includes metadata of endophytic bacteria with plant growth promoting activity and bacteria usable for bio-remedation of polluted environments from the CNR-IBBR-SUB collection, which is maintained at Institute of Biosciences and Bioresources (IBBR) in Naples, Italy. Endophytic bacteria were isolated from rice plants grown in Italy and in the State of Mali (West Africa), while polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degrading bacteria were isolated from the industrial zone of the port of Marghera (Venice, Italy). Microorganisms are cryopreserved at -80 °C resuspended in growth media containing cryoprotectants (glycerol). Frozen microorganisms can be revived by thawing at 37 °C and inoculating into fresh culture medium. The main aim of the collection is to study bacteria interacting with legumes and cereals (e.g., N-fixation, phytohormones production, etc.) and their ability to improve host plants resistance to abiotic stresses.

Antonio Francesco Campana's Herbarium (FER-CAM)
The Herbarium of Antonio Campana, a brilliant professor of botany at the University of Ferrara between 1700 and 1800, consists of spontaneous plants mainly from the Ferrara area. The Herbarium includes 4414 plants in a good state of preservation, classified according to Linnaeus' system. The plants are not fixed with glue or pins but are loose on the pages and, unfortunately, there is no information about where and when they were collected.

The Medicinal Herb Garden (also known as "Giardino dei Semplici") is a botanic collection of more than 100 living plant species, primarily officinal and wild edible (alimurgic) plants. The collection aims to preserve local biodiversity and disseminate knowledge on botany sciences and medicinal plants. It also promotes pharmacological and phytosanitary research to deepen and apply knowledge about the biological properties of herbs and their extracts. Medicinal and wild edible plants are conserved, whose main taxa are dicots, monocots and Ginkgoopsida. Lamiaceae, Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Myrtaceae, Apiaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Rosaceae, and Plantaginaceae are the main represented families. The main purposes of the collection are: preservation and cultivation; transcriptional and metabolic characterisation; active principles and essential oils extraction; biochemical characterization; pharmacological and phytochemical studies.

The herbarium of Ercole Graziadei, Count of Massenzatica, is an early 19th century collection purchased in 2024 by private individuals in Codigoro for its great historical value, excellent state of preservation, and, not least, the frequent occurrence of collection notes of scientific value for the Ferrara area (specimens also from the Ferrara Botanical Garden). The collection consists of four small bound volumes, in which the pages containing small, numbered plant specimens, protected by paper folds, alternate with a rich textual treatment, where each number leads to a detailed description with ecological notes, commentaries, references to published texts or plates, and, indeed, often precise collection localities. It includes specimens collected by other authors, including Antonio Francesco Campana, and overall, various handwriting styles are recognizable, along with evidence of a "stratified" constitution, likely spanning at least a decade (specimens dated 1827 and 1834 have been glimpsed).

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) polymorphisms in Cupressus sempervirens (CNR-IBBR-C-SEMPERVIRENS)
The dataset derives from the first large-scale analysis using nuclear molecular markers to assess the genetic diversity and structure of Cupressus sempervirens L. Genetic and fossil data were combined to infer the possible role of human activity and evolutionary history in shaping the diversity of cypress populations. Thirty populations with six polymorphic nuclear microsatellite markers were analyzed. Dramatic reductions in heterozygosity and allelic richness were observed from east to west across the species range. Structure analysis assigned individuals to two main groups separating the central Mediterranean and eastern populations. The two main groups could be further divided into five subgroups, which showed the following geographical distributions: Turkey with the Greek islands Rhodes and Samos, Greece (Crete), Southern Italy, Northern Italy, and Tunisia with Central Italy. This pattern of genetic structure is also supported by SAMOVA and Barrier analyses. Palaeobotanical data indicated that Cupressus was present in Italy in the Pliocene, Pleistocene, and Holocene. Furthermore, the survey showed that Italian cypress populations experienced bottlenecks resulting in reduced genetic diversity, allelic richness, and higher genetic differentiation. Recent colonization or introduction may also have influenced levels of diversity detected in the Italian populations, as most individuals in this range today have multilocus genotypes also present in the eastern range of the species. The data reveal a new interpretation of the history of cypress distribution characterized by ancient eastern populations (Turkey and Greek islands) and a mosaic of recently introduced trees and remnants of ancient, depauperate populations in the central Mediterranean range.
