description: "Paolo Panceri was an Italian naturalist.\nPanceri graduated in medicine at the University of Pavia where he began his research. In 1861 he took\nthe Chair of Comparative anatomy at the University of Naples, where he directed the Zoology Museum.\nPanceri was cautious about the scientific validity of evolutionary theories but was instrumental in the foundation of the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn. His findings on the bioluminescence of marine invertebrates and studies of Amphioxus led to fame in Italy and abroad. In 1874 he sold his books and scientific papers to Biblioteca Universitaria di Napoli to pay for an expedition to Egypt. They constitute an example of a nineteenth-century library specializing in the natural sciences and comparative anatomy.\nHis students in Naples include Carlo Emery, Leopoldo Maggi and Antonio della Valle. He died aged 44."
