Francesco Todaro

Francesco Todaro (14 February 1839 – 22 October 1918) was an Italian anatomist born in Tripi, a village in the province of Messina.

He taught classes in anatomy as Professor at the Universities of Messina and Rome.[1]

In his anatomical studies on the structure of the heart, he described a fibrous extension of the Eustachian valve, now referred to as the "tendon of Todaro". In the field of zoology, he conducted extensive studies on a variety of tunicates known as salps.

In 1874 he became a member of the "Nazionale dei Lincei".
