First Geological Guide of the area
We present the preliminary results of a multiscalar structural study of an outstanding exposure of the Belluno Thrust
of the Italian Southern Alps (Monte Coppolo area, Feltre region). The Belluno Thrust is one of the main structures
forming the orogen-scale WSW-ENE-trending thrust system that contributed to the building of the Southern Alps
in the...
La città di Verona si trova al margine meridionale dei Monti Lessini, nelle Prealpi Venete. Nelle colline calcaree che la circondano, dette Torricelle, si sviluppa un esteso reticolo paleocarsico fossilizzato da ocre di composizione prevalentemente limonitica, che per secoli sono state oggetto di estrazione mineraria e utilizzate come terre coloran...

Sotto le Torricelle ci sono diversi Km di gallerie. Sono le grotte/miniere dove si estraeva la cosiddetta “terra gialla”. La “terra gialla” (ocra) veniva estratta per essere utilizzata come pigmento per l'arte e l'edilizia.
Nuove esplorazioni nelle grotte/miniere hanno portato a interessanti scoperte geologiche.
At the southern edge of the Lessini Mountains (Venetian Prealps,Italy), a well-developed palaeokarst network is found in the hills surroundingVerona, called Torricelle. Palaeokarst cavities are fossilizedby palaeosols of mostly limonitic composition ('yellow ochres'),which were mined for centuries for pigments. In the current interpretation,the age...
The mountain and hilly territory of the western Emilia and Romagna up to the Apennine watershed, also comprising part of the Romagna Toscana, represents, in Italy, the main sandstones producer, with the Pietra Serena of Firenzuola and of Marradi and with the Pietra Serena from the Savio valley. Minor productive realities, but not less important amo...
Pietra di Montovolo (named after the typical quarrying zone) is a sandstone used since the 11th century in the upper Reno Valley as a building material. The stone is quarried mainly from the Pietra di Bismantova member consisting of grey and brownish yellow arenites in thick decametric banks alternating with thin strata of fine bio-disturbed sandst...
In the quarry basin of the Para torrent at Alfero in the Apennines near Cesena, a type of sandstone known as Pietra Serena di Alfero belonging to the Marnoso-arenacea Formation of the middle to upper Miocene is quarried. Four quarries are currently in production, one in the local authority area of Sarsina (Li 10) and three in the local authority ar...
The sandstone of the Macigno Formation quarried along the Fontanella stream near Montereggio (Lunigiana - NW Italy) has been used in XVI-XVII century for the construction of important architectural elements such as ashlar portals in the fortified palace of the Malaspina and in Montereggio village. It is a fine-to coarse- grained feldspathic-lithic...
A method is reported for the preparation of flat specimens (30 mu m thick) of porous, brittle and low permeability materials and locks for both optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). The method, based on alternating embeddings in vacuum with epoxy resin and grindings with final polishing...
