IPTM
International Project
for
Teaching Malacology

Claudio Fanelli

Born in Jesi AN - Italy I worked as an IT Systems Engineer. Now I am retired.
I approached the malacology with my wife in 1972 when we met with Francesco Settepassi.
In 1980 we started a natural history museum dedicated to our friend Francesco (you can read the museum's history in the homepage of this website). This museum has worked from 1980 to 2000 when my wife went into retirement. Our passion is so transferred in teaching and impel us to start the IPTM with the hope of bringing together the experiences of malacologists friends, around the world, to spread our passion in very young children. When my wife retired we founded the association of scientific voluntary "Verde Realtà". Since 2006, volunteer I work as a consultant to carry out a scientific articles on various magazines.
