Ulisse Aldrovandi was regarded, by people like Carl Linnaeus and others, to be The Father of Natural History. His cabinet of curiosities forms the foundation of the collections at the Palazzo Poggi, and, thank the public domain gods, his published works seem to be available in their entirety on the internet (via Wikipedia).
