Abstract

We review several of de Finetti's fundamental contributions where these have played and continue to play an important role in the development of imprecise probability research. Also, we discuss de Finetti's few, but mostly critical remarks about the prospects for a theory of imprecise probabilities, given the limited development of imprecise probability theory as that was known to him.
