The conference ‘The European wildcat in Italy: current knowledge and future prospects’ is the first thematic national meeting of a series of annual events called ‘Fauna’ dedicated to the figure of the zoologist Bernardino Ragni. The meetings started in 2019 with a conference dealing with the person and career of Prof. Ragni one year after his death, and are strongly supported by the Ragni family, the Municipality of Spoleto and the Professor’s colleagues and former students. The paper describes the figure of Prof. Bernardino Ragni, commemorating his dedication to research over his entire life and, in particular, to the iconic species he devoted most of his time and energies to, namely the European wildcat. |
