The suggestion of this new-found culture of the use of greenery and the new innovative challenges proposed gather at the "Vivai del Sud" the best architects of the gardens formed in the universities where this specialization was present. success was immediate, making operational nurseries of the south as well as in Italy, with branches in Milan, Venice, Florence, Naples, Catania, Costa Smeralda and with representatives in France, Spain, Germany, United States, Middle and Far East and Africa.
