In 2007 we begun an experiment devoting an entire issue to one single topic and so, in November 2007, the first monograph came to light: "The Drosera petiolaris complex" by Maurizio Saroldi, a double issue comprising 64 pages. The foreign growers who received this work voiced their appreciation, but also their regret at not being able to read the text, which of course, was in Italian. For this reason we have now prepared a CD containing a pdf English version of the monograph.

In order to have the CD, send an e-mail to Gadget AIPC Cerbaie's project: Drosera rotundifolia var. corsica preservation In the heart of the Tuscany, close to the Cerbaie's Hills, in a tiny area, it's possible to find the Drosera rotundifolia L. var. corsica Maire. The "sfagnum-bog" of the little San Martino's valley (Fucecchio – FI) is one of the few sites in the world where is possible to find this particular plant and surely it is the southernmost Italian site where Drosera rotundifolia grows. The "sphagnum-bog" is large 1,000 sq. mtrs and additionally has some esteemed species, like Osmunda regalis L. and, until few years ago, the nice Gentiana pneumonanthe L., probably extinct due to phytosanitary measures and to many fires in this zone. AIPC, in close cooperation with the probate authorities and the landlord, is working in order to promote the preservation project for this very important natural biotope, participating in the activities structures, management and info campaign, aimed at the Drosera's survival; this plants, indeed, is currently at very high risk of extinction because of the site peculiarity and the lack of effective protection from the danger elements (infesting plants, shading, indiscriminate plants-collection, etc.). The project includes the re-establishment of the original habitat, limiting the competition of other infesting plants. The area will be fenced and several footbridges will be built as well as some guide-boards will help even the less expert excursionist to understand the peculiar area. PDF too !

AIPC Magazine
Abstract.
The periodical was established as "AIPC News" by Marcello Catalano in January 1998, at a time when the newly founded AIPC had only around 30 members. 
 "AIPC News" underwent a number of format changes in its early years. In its first two volumes (1998–1999), it was printed in A4 format and consisted of a colour cover and black and white body. Volumes 3 through 6 (2000–2003) were printed in the smaller A5 format and included a colour cover and insert, the rest being in black and white. From volume 7 in 2004 the magazine began printing in full colour on glossy A5 paper, and was renamed to "AIPC Magazine". The magazine was released in annual volumes until 2006, when it adopted continuous issue numbering starting with a new issue 1 (March 2006). On January 1, 2006, it was registered as the society's official magazine. 
 Three special monographic issues have been released: issue 7 (September 2007), on the "Drosera petiolaris" complex; issue 14 (June 2009), on Mexican "Pinguicula"; and issue 18 (June 2010), on the tepuis and Gran Sabana of Venezuela.
