Abstract The cover picture shows the formula of cannabimovone, a cannabinoid with a rearranged terpenoid skeleton isolated from an industrial strain of hemp derived from the old Italian variety Carmagnola. The trade of this exceptionally tall plant (up to 5–6 m) from the homonymous Piedmontese town at the foot of the Monviso mountain (see the painting at the right) to Marseille in France was at the origin of the French revolutionary song and dance la Carmagnole . The picture shows the cultivation of Carmagnola hemp at the foot of the Vesuvio, exemplifying the collaboration between the Italian groups from Campania and Piedmont who report the discovery of cannabimovone on p. 2067 ff. The authors acknowledge Mrs. Maria Rosa Gaude for the painting, Assocanapa (Carmagnola) and Dr. Nicola Ghietti for the pictures and their help, and Dr. Alberto Massarotti for the cover page design.
