Abstract
We first briefly recall the importance of studying pulsating stars to infer stellar properties and then focus on pulsating Herbig Ae stars, expected to cross the instability strip during their evolution towards the Main Sequence. We illustrate the first theoretical prediction of the instability strip for these stars as based on an idea of Francesco and the huge impact of these results for subsequent observational ground and space-based studies, as well as for further theoretical investigations. Finally we discuss how pulsating Herbig Ae stars can be used to infer individual ages of young stars in clusters and associations, an application that has been fascinating Francesco during the last few years of his activity in the field.
