Это письмо разослал основным корреспондентам Фабио Кассола его сын - Бруно.
Dear Sirs,
on behalf of my mother Paola and my brother Mauro I have to inform you that my
father, Fabio Cassola, passed away on last 14th January 2016. As you may know,
he suffered from a severe form of Parkinson's desease that inhibited him in
the last months to work on his beloved Tiger Beetles (Cicindelidae).
Please note that it was my father himself to decide to donate his private wide
collection of Tiger
Beetles (one of the most important private ones in the world) to the
Museo Civico di Zoologia (Via
Ulisse Aldrovandi 18, Rome-Italy) in order to maximize its scientific usage.
We are defining with
this Institution how and when to transfer the whole collection that will be
saved as a unique entity
("Collezione Fabio Cassola dei Coleotteri Cicindelidi del mondo"). This means
that in a near future
you can directly contact the Roman Museo Civico di Zoologia for any scientific
purposes.
I please ask you to provide this information to your contacts that could be
interested. Considering
that Fabio Cassola spent his whole life on studying Tiger Beetles with some
success and with many
scientific publications, we want to allow the present and future experts and
scientists to make profit
of his scientific heritage.
More, as I am not part of the scientific community (my father was!), I will
highly appreciate if you
will address me any text, article or information that will be published in a
near future regarding
Fabio Cassola's work and life.
I am at your disposal for any further information. Please refer to
bcassola@yahoo.com and
fabiocassola@alice.it.
Best regards, Bruno Cassola
