Meraviglie del cavolo! (ovvero della dimensione frattale del cavolfiore)

The paper deals with the wonderful fractal structure of a kind of cauliflower (Brassica Oleracea Botrytis Cimosa). The fractal dimension of the vegetable is empirically detected by measurement and a simple mathematical model of the fractal cauliflower is then built which agrees with the experimental data.
