Abstract: The paper {it On the multifractal nature of fully developed turbulence and chaotic systems}, by R. Benzi {it et al.} published in this journal in 1984 (vol {�f 17}, page 3521) has been a starting point of many investigations on the different faces of selfsimilarity and intermittency in turbulent phenomena. Since then, the multifractal model has become a useful tool for the study of small scale turbulence, in particular for detailed predictions of different Eulerian and Lagrangian statistical properties. In the occasion of the 50-th birthday of our unforgettable friend and colleague Giovanni Paladin (1958-1996), we review here the basic concepts and some applications of the multifractal model for turbulence.
