Italian politician
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.
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".
