Museum Activity

 

Summary of research activity:

I have always dedicated and I am still dedicating an important part of my activity to the museum itself. It is my profound conviction that a natural history museum is an important institution and that the activities that are done within it are extremely important to increase the public awareness. Exhibits and didactic activities done within the walls of a museum have often a very strong effect on the mind of the visitors. For this I have always put my expertise, passion and competence at the service of the museum. I have also spent much of my energies in the valorisation of the scientific collections that are the ?heart? of a scientific museum. Without a collection a museum is not really a museum, but only a big container without a soul.
