“…Along the southernmost part of the Marche coast, the cultivation of Citrus ×aurantium and other Citrus fruits has been present since the 12 th century D.C. (Zavatti 1966, Manzi andVitelli 2016 (Camperio and Fiori 1910) and currently it is recorded as invasive alien in Lombardia and Emilia-Romagna, naturalized in Piemonte and Veneto, and casual in Trentino-Alto Adige and Friuli Venezia Giulia (Galasso et al 2018a).
