Геркулес Турати
Граф Геркулес Турати или Эрколе Турати (1829–1881, Милано ) был богатым миланским банкиром и натуралистом. Он приобрел образцы естественной истории и создал очень большую частную коллекцию из более чем 20 000 образцов птиц, в основном установленных, которые включают в себя вымерший великий AUK . Museo Civico di Storia Naturale Di Milano был построен, чтобы разместить образцы, которые его наследники пожертвовали городу после его смерти. Однако большое количество образцов было уничтожено во время воздушного налета в 1943 году.

Along with his brother Ernesto, he also made collections of the nests and eggs of the birds of Lombardy.[1] Along with Tommaso Salvadori, he described Pharomachrus xanthogaster in 1874 as the yellow-billed quetzal from Bogota which was considered later as a colour variant of Pharomachrus auriceps but may represent a hybrid.[2] After his death, his collection was transferred to the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milano which was constructed to house it.[3] This collection was curated by Giacinto Martorelli and Edgardo Moltoni.[4][5][6] Several species of birds are named after him including Picoides pubescens turati and Laniarius turatii. A brother, Vittorio Turati was a pioneer photographer who developed a process of printing varying tints called Sincromia or Synchromie. Some prints made using this process were included in Martorelli's catalogue of Turati's raptor collections.[7] His son Emilio Turati (1858 - 1938) was an entomological collector.
