Prof. Conci was the curator of invertebrate zoology of our museum from 1957 to 1964; then he became the Director of the same institution until 1981. He was primarily an entomologist, but he also had a very deep knowledge of natural sciences and contributed to the advancement of Italian speleology and biogeography. He was a skilful researcher both in the lab and in the field, and supported information sharing and collaboration as productive working strategies. Prof. Conci also promoted the scientific associationism that strongly contributed to the diffusion and progress of naturalistic knowledge in the second half of the 20th century. A list of taxa described by Prof. Conci, as well as one of taxa dedicated to him, and honouring his scientific work, are provided. Finally, all Conci’s publications are reported.

A travel through the collections of the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale. The library of the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale of Milan holds the series of the historical catalogues of the collections; this precious source of the museum's heritage lacks the part related to the studies of Man, which enjoyed a brief but lively period in the second halfofthe nineteenth century. The present investigation proposes to reconstruct the events which concerned the collections of anthropology, palaeoethnology and ethnography by evaluating in particular the papers of the scholars involved and the documents of the historical archives of the institute. A bibliography related to the material in these collections has also been compiled as part of the research.
