Giovanni Passerini was an Italian

entomologist, born on June 16, 1816, in Pieve di Guastalla. He died on April 17, 1893, in Parma
.

In 1836 he studied medicine at the

aphids. His collection, of 5,500 specimens in 52 genera kinds and 89 species, is in the natural history museum of the University of Parma.[citation needed

In 1875, he was the first president of the Italian-Parma section of the

Alpine Club (Club Alpino Italiano a Parma).[2] With Vincenzo de Cesati and Giuseppe Gibelli, he was co-author of a compendium of Italian flora, titled "Compendio della flora italiana".[3]

In 1875 Pier Andrea Saccardo named the fungal genus Passerinula in his honor.[1][4] Then in 1892, Augusto Napoleone Berlese named the fungal genus Passeriniella in his honor as well.[5]
