Although there are various checklists of Italian mammals, there is not yet a synthesis of those mammals
that are endemic to Italy. Therefore, we provide for the first time a detailed review on Italian mammal
endemic species including endemic taxa deserving additional studies. This review is based on the most
recent taxonomic revisions obtained using Scopus and Google Scholar databases. We also considered
the age of endemic species. Some aspects of mammalian conservation are also provided and discussed.
