Abstract:
A review of the main contributions to the scientific literature between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries concerning the geology and volcanology of Monte Amiata volcano (Tuscany, central Italy) is presented. Monte Amiata, and the nearby volcano of Radicofani, are of great interest for the history of volcanology because they have the primacy of being the first to be recognized of volcanic origin in a region (Tuscany) which was not volcanically active, thirty years before Guettard's studies on the Auvergne region in France. Indeed, the Florentine botanist Pier Antonio Micheli identified as extinct volcanoes Radicofani in 1722 and Monte Amiata in 1733. Moreover, the merit of Micheli's work resides in interpreting Monte Amiata as an extinct volcano despite the absence of a conventional cone-shaped volcano morphology, and in his recognizing its rocks as lavas despite their marked differences to those produced by the known active volcanoes of its times, such as the iconic Vesuvius. During the eighteenth century and until the first half of the nineteenth century, Monte Amiata was a destination for scientific journeys by Tuscan and foreign scholars (e.g. Micheli, Baldassarri, Arduino, Fortis, Ferber, Dolomieu, Santi, Repetti, Hoffmann). In addition, its rocks were part of important collections throughout Europe visited by illustrious mineralogists. Furthermore, samples from Monte Amiata were used to illustrate the general discussions on the nature and origin of rocks such as basalt and granite. In the nineteenth century, Monte Amiata was included in the lists of known volcanoes recorded in the early treatises on volcanology made by Scrope, Daubeny, and Hoffmann, and its ‘trachyte’ was the subject of early essays on microscope petrography and chemical analysis of rocks, performed by vom Rath, Rosenbusch, Williams, Lacroix, and Washington. Between the end of the nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century, the volcano geologists of the Comitato Geologico Italiano, especially Verri, Lotti, and Sabatini, carried out field-surveys on Monte Amiata resulting in geological maps and volcano-stratigraphies. Moreover, modern petrographic (Novarese, Artini, Rodolico) and geographical (Dainelli and Olinto Marinelli) scientific studies were carried out on this volcano. Nevertheless, up to the middle part of the twentieth century, the major interest in Monte Amiata was related not to its volcanological aspects but to its natural resources: drinking waters, diatomaceous earths, earth pigments, and mercury ore-minerals.

Abstract:
At the foothillof Monte Amiata volcano (southern Tuscany, Italy), small extinct lake basins of late Pleistocene age are documented. These lake basins were characterized by the deposition of two very different types of sediment: a) derived from the authigenic precipitation of iron oxides (goethite) and exploited as earth pigments; b) biogenic siliceous sediment composed of fossil diatoms and named diatomaceous earth or diatomite. The lacustrine sediments of Mount Amiata volcano were widely exploited for various applications since ancient times. Literary documents begin in the 16th century, with the descriptions of Cesalpino, Gesner, Agricola, and Imperato. Specific references to the diatomites of Monte Amiata are quoted in the 17th century by Boccone and Bonanno. The quarrying activity was described by Micheli in 1733. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the diatomaceous earths of Monte Amiata are part of the important geological collections of Micheli, Targioni Tozzetti, Baldassarri, Campani, and Tommi. A particular significance has the collection of botanic and ichthyologic fossils collected by Ezio Tongiorgi, and now preserved in the Museum of Natural History of the University of Pisa sited at the Charterhouse of Pisa in the Calci village. These paleontological samples preserve the biological and physical testimonies of the environmental and climatic changes of the late Pleistocene and are now particularly valuable because they are the only remaining evidence of the diatomaceous lacustrine deposits of the paleo-lakes of Monte Amiata. For these reasons, they represent geological materials with a fundamental cultural value.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Among the artist’s iron-based natural earth pigments, the so-called terra di Siena (raw sienna), terra di Siena bruciata (burnt sienna) and terra d’ombra (umber) have been among the yellow-brown and reddish-brown earth pigments most widely used by Italian and European painters since the Renaissance. We present the history of discovery, designation, and production of these famous pigments, their geological, lithological, and geochemical characterization, and the recognition of their genesis and places of origin, based on new geological field surveys, and on the critical analysis of textual documents and rock sample collections assembled during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In particular, the terra di Siena earth pigment exclusively originated at, and was extracted from, late Pleistocene paleo-lake basins surrounding the Monte Amiata volcano. This earth pigment consists of primarily lacustrine sediments composed of hydrated iron oxide (limonite/goethite) produced by biochemical authigenic precipitation from fresh waters rich in metal solutes.

Abstract:
As a man-induced disturbance of forest ecosystems, thinning may affect biodiversity and other related ecological functions including fungal dynamics. In this context, a multidisciplinary EU-Life project was established in 2014 to evaluate the application of selective thinning in two Pinus nigra plantations areas of the Apennines (Monte Amiata and Pratomagno, Tuscany, Italy). Selective thinning had the aim to improve stands stability and growth rates, taking also into account the various components of soil biodiversity (flora, fungi, mesofauna, nematodes, microarthropods and bacteria). Here we present mushroom fruiting patterns previous to treatment in 2014 and the effect following the application of forest management (selective thinning and traditional thinning from below) in 2018. Boxplots were used to graphically represent intra and inter annual variations in species richness and abundance, while Principal Coordinates Analyses and multi-response permutation procedures based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity matrix were applied to evaluate turnover in species composition before the management and after 4 years. A significant reduction of fungal richness and abundance after 4 years thinning impact was lacking in both study areas, testifying a certain degree of resistance and/or resilience of mushroom fruiting to forest management-related anthropogenic disturbance. Considering each study site separately, Monte Amiata and Pratomagno did not show one uniform trend but differed significantly in their response to management: while in Pratomagno relevant inter-annual differences were present only in a few cases, an underlining significant variation both for species richness and abundance was registered in Monte Amiata for all treatment types among years (inter-annual variation) but not within each year (intra-annual variation). Only in Pratomagno turnover in species composition in selective thinning differed somewhat from the traditional treatment in 2018, showing that a process is underlying but still potentially masked by other variables. Due to the nature of macrofungi, a longer study period (more than 4 years post treatment impact) as well as the application of a more intense forest management, could be necessary to highlight and disentangle any possible trends in fungal fruiting in artificial stands

Abstract:
O objetivo deste trabalho é o uso do método de Monte Carlo no estudo de processos de reticulação em polímeros. O método é aqui aplicado para simular a cura do 1,4 butanodiol diglicidil éter com anidrido cis 1,2 ciclohexanodicarboxílico, usando amina terciária como iniciador. O sistema é modelado numa rede quadrada bidimensional com condições de contorno rígidas (caso 1) ou condições de contorno periódicas (caso 2). Nós desenvolvemos um algoritmo computacional que simula a movimentação aleatória das moléculas e sua agregação. O algoritmo é codificado num programa em FORTRAN 77. Os parâmetros obtidos são a concentração das espécies em função do número de etapas computacionais e o grau de reação, bem como uma estimativa aproximada da dimensão fractal. Os resultados obtidos nos permitem compreender alguns aspectos cinéticos relacionados ao mecanismo de Matejka e algumas peculiaridades da agregação bidimensional. As limitações do modelo, bem como suas perspectivas e propostas de desenvolvimentos posteriores são discutidos.
The aim of this work is to use the Monte Carlo simulation method in order to study network formation processes in polymers. Here we apply this method to simulate the curing of 1,4 butanedioldiglicidyl ether with cis 1,2 cyclohexanedicarboxylic anhydride, using tertiary amine as initiator. The system is modeled in a two-dimensional square lattice with rigid boundary conditions (case 1) or periodic boundary conditions (case 2). We develop a computational algorithm that simulate the random movement of the molecules and its further aggregation. The algorithm was coded in FORTRAN 77 . The parameters obtained are the concentration of the species as a function of the number of computational steps and degree of reaction and a estimate of the fractal dimension of the aggregates. The results obtained permited us to understand some kinetical aspects related to Matejka mechanism and some peculiarities of a two-dimensional aggregation. The limitations of the model, as well as its perspectives and proposal of further developments are discussed.

Abstract:
O sistema aqui estudado é modelado para uma rede quadrada bidimensional com condições de contorno periódicas, e as moléculas , após serem aleatoriamente distribuídas nesta rede são movimentadas por translação/redefinição sendo o processo reticulação similar a agregação de clusters. Como tema deste trabalho tem-se o estudo da influência na dinâmica da agregação através dos mecanismos de cura aqui modelados. Para sua efetivação foram desenvolvidos quatro modelos através de diferentes mecanismos com os quais alguns aspectos de estrutura da cinética e dinâmica da agregação e dos agregados formados são comparados. Os resultados nos permitem inferir sobre o comportamento dos próprios mecanismo a coerência interna a cada um deles, bem como da especifidade da agregação em duas dimensões.

Abstract:
Monte Amiata (Italy) is a middle Pleistocene silicic volcano characterized by the extrusion of extensive (5–8 km long and 60 m thick on average) sheet-like lava flows (SLLFs). It is one of the prime volcanoes that have been involved in the volcanological debate on the genetic interpretation of large silicic flows. We performed integrated stratigraphic, volcanological, and structural field survey and petrochemical study of Monte Amiata SLLFs to describe their volcanic facies characteristics and to elucidate their eruptive and emplacement processes. Individual flow units exhibit basal autoclastic breccia beds or shear zones, frontal ramp structures, massive cores with subvertical cooling columnar jointing, coherent non-vesicular upper parts, and plain surfaces with pressure ridges. Internal shear-bedding and crystals and vesicles lineations define planar to twisted and straightened outflow layering. The absence of fragmental textures, both at micro- and macro-scale, supports the effusive nature for the SLLFs. The most common lithology is a vitrophyric trachydacite of whitish to light-gray color, showing a homogeneous porphyritic texture of K-feldspar, plagioclase, pyroxene, and biotite, in a glassy perlitic or microcrystalline poorly vesicular groundmass. Morphological features, facies characteristics, internal structure, and petrographic textures of these silicic sheet-like and long-lasting flows suggest that their effusive emplacement was governed by peculiar physicochemical and structural conditions.

Abstract:
In this chapter we look at the aristocracy of southern Tuscany, where the signoria territoriale was more widely diffused and the dependence of the peasantry more general. Here we encounter the Aldobrandeschi, the southern equivalent of the Guidi. Beginning with their contention with the monastery of Monte Amiata and its subjection, we trace the family’s long process of transformation from imperial functionaries to a territorial dynasty. We look closely at their clientele, part of which was feudo-vassalic, and at the multiple functions of southern castles, including mineral extraction and industrial use. From these we turn to the minor aristocracy, the lambardi, whom Cortese calls ‘puntiform’, that is to say nuclear or local. We look at their consorterie, their control of natural resources, and their capacity for enterprise. Their residences within castles will also be examined. Finally the chapter looks at the fortunes of these signori in terms of the forward march of the city of Siena.
