Castanea sativa Mill. is a multi-functional species with a high ecological and cultural relevance. Thanks to its features, chestnut has become an essential element of subsistence for many societies in mountain and sub-mountain areas. In this context, the principal aim of the two recently funded projects CASTADIVA and CASTANEVAL is to characterize the chestnut germplasm grown in pilot areas of the Lombardy Region (provinces of Brescia and Varese) by integrating genetic and morphometric data analysis, in order to evaluate the regional chestnut genetic resources and promote their conservation.

Abstract
Castanea sativa Mill. is a multi-functional species with a high ecological and cultural relevance. Thanks to its features, chestnut has become an essential element of subsistence for many societies in mountain and sub-mountain areas. In this context, the principal aim of the two recently funded projects CASTADIVA and CASTANEVAL is to characterize the chestnut germplasm grown in pilot areas of the Lombardy Region (provinces of Brescia and Varese) by integrating genetic and morphometric data analysis, in order to evaluate the regional chestnut genetic resources and promote their conservation.
