Count Giuseppe Ginanni or Zinanni was an Italian naturalist.Biography
Zinanni wrote the first book entirely devoted to the eggs and nests of birds Delle uova e dei nidi degli uccelli, illustrated with 34 black and white plates. Birds are divided into three groups: raptorial land birds, other land birds, and waterbirds. Each oological plate illustrated from one to nine eggs representing 106 species altogether. The specimens illustrated are from Zinanni's own museum piccolo Museo di cose naturali. He later published a book on snails and another on grasshoppers.
