contents We investigate infinitesimal Torelli problems for some of the Fano threefolds of the following two types: (a) those which can be described as zero loci of sections of vector bundles on Grassmannians (for instance, ordinary Gushel-Mukai threefolds), and (b) double covers of rigid Fano threefolds branched along a $K3$ surface (such as, special Gushel-Mukai threefolds). The differential of the period map for ordinary Gushel-Mukai threefolds has been studied by Debarre, Iliev and Manivel; in particular, it has a $2$-dimensional kernel. The main result of this paper is that the invariant part of the infinitesimal period map for a special Gushel-Mukai threefold is injective. We prove this result using a Hodge theoretical argument as well as a categorical method. Through similar approaches, we also study infinitesimal Torelli problems for prime Fano threefolds with genus $7$, $8$, $9$, $10$, $12$ (type (a)) and for special Verra threefolds (type (b)). Furthermore, a geometric description of the kernel of the differential of the period maps for Gushel-Mukai threefolds (and for prime Fano threefolds of genus $8$) is given via a Bridgeland moduli space in the Kuznetsov components.
