About Fabio Cassola

Lived 1938 – 2016 (aged 77). Fabio Cassola was an Italian entomologist and lawyer.

Fabio Cassola (17 October 1938 – 14 January 2016) was an Italian lawyer and amateur entomologist who specialized in the tiger beetles.

Cassola was born in Rome and received a Classical Lyceum degree (1956) and a degree in law (1960). He practiced law from 1963 working out of an office in the National Social Insurance Institute, Rome. Cassola was also a keen conservationist who was involved in founding the WWF-Italy branch.

A number of tiger beetles are named after him including the genus Cassolaia , a fossil species Palaeoiresina cassolai and Cylindera fabiocassola .
