    Description: Questa nota descrive i diversi luoghi d’Italia attraversati da Giuseppe Mercalli ripercorrendo il percorso scientifico di questo famoso studioso, che, attraverso la meticolosa descrizione dei più disparati fenomeni naturali, era alla continua ricerca della loro spiegazione, classificazione e quantificazione. Questa sua continua ricerca lo portò ad approfondire, tra l’altro, tematiche vulcanologiche e sismologiche e ad inserirsi brillantemente nel dibattito scientifico dell’epoca. Di notevole rilievo furono anche la sua attività come insegnante e la sua produzione scientifica e “didattica”. Infatti egli non abbandonò mai l’insegnamento delle Scienze Naturali, che lo portò ad attraversare l’Italia e a dotare i propri allievi di libri di testo di notevole valore e accuratezza [Mercalli, 1883a; Mercalli, 1883b; Mercalli, 1883c; Mercalli, 1883d; Mercalli, 1883e; Mercalli, 1907]. Giuseppe Mercalli nacque a Milano il 20 Maggio del 1850, da Carlo e da Carolina De Simone, artigiani tessili della seta. Terzogenito di cinque figli, iniziò privatamente i suoi studi, proseguendo quelli liceali nel Seminario di Monza per la cultura letteraria e scientifica, e quelli teologici nel Seminario Maggiore di Milano, dove ricevette l’ordinazione sacerdotale il 20 dicembre 1872 (Fig. 1). Nella Sezione Normale del Politecnico milanese, Mercalli frequentò le lezioni del corso di Scienze Naturali tenute dal geologo abate Antonio Stoppani. Qui ottenne nel 1874 il diploma di insegnante di Scienze Naturali.

    Description: The Vesuvius Observatory is the first volcanological observatory in the world. Since its foundation in 1841 and thanks to the approval of King Ferdinand II of Bourbon, in this site began the systematic study of Vesuvius and its eruptive activity. The Observatory site must be considered among the most representative geosites of the Vesuvius surroundings, due to the geological setting of the area and its historical and scientific value. In the XIX century volcanologists based much of their research on the direct observation of the volcanoes, so it was decided to found the Observatory not far from the Vesuvius crater. The choice could seem hazardous, but actually it never was. In fact at that time the Vesuvius activity was only characterized by effusive or low-energy explosive eruptions, and the site was always only lapped by lava flows, as reported in the first volcanological map of Vesuvius, by Johnston Lavis (1888). Names of distinguished scientists, who have dedicated their entire lives to the study of the volcano, are the flagship of the Vesuvius Observatory since its foundation. Many of them have directed it, thus linking their name to this site as well as to important discoveries in both volcanological and seismological fields. At present the historical site of the Vesuvius Observatory hosts a permanent exhibition, in which collections of great scientific, artistic and cultural value – unique for their abundance and variety – tells the story of this institution. The exhibition also introduces the visitors to volcanism and related hazards, the forecasting of volcanic eruptions and the monitoring systems of active volcanoes, proposing itself as an invaluable instrument of risk mitigation, by increasing the population awareness about the threat posed by these volcanoes and generating the conditions for a correct land-planning and management, and a sustainable development of the territory.

    Description: Vesuvius is unique in the world for many aspects, ranging from geology to volcanology, natural sciences and archeology. It includes contexts in which all these disciplines show peculiar aspects even in a single site. It is the place where the modern studies of volcanology begun, leading in 1841 to the foundation of the Vesuvius Observatory, the oldest volcanological observatory in the World. Vesuvius exhibits a wide range of eruption styles that spans from effusive to Plinian eruptions, which produced disastrous effects on the communities that over time inhabited the surrounding areas. The oldest traces of human settlements date back to the Neolithic times, while the most recent were covered by the 1944 eruption deposits. The most famous archaeological remnants are by far those buried by the deposits of the AD 79 eruption of Pompeii. However, not less important are the traces of many past eruptions over ancient plowed fields, prehistoric villages and small rural villages in the Campania plain. All the past traces of life have been sealed repeatedly by eruptions through time, and the stratigraphic record still retains all evidence of both environmental and human resilience. It is mandatory for us to make this important patrimony accessible to everybody, respecting its high level of fragility, typical of a geologically "young" territory. Presently, despite the very large number of tourists and scientists that visit this volcano and its National Park, only a limited number of sites of great geologic, naturalistic and cultural interest is accessible. One of the main goals of the Vesuvius National Park, acting together with the INGV, is to promote a series of educational and outreach activities aimed at a full and compatible fruition of the park environment as a whole, creating the background for the candidacy of this territory to the European and global network of geoparks.

    Description: The Royal Observatory of Vesuvius (ROV) is the oldest volcanological observatory in the world. It was founded in 1841 by the King of the Two Sicilies, Ferdinand II of Bourbons, in order to study the volcanic activity of Vesuvius for the early warning of the population. Currently, it hosts a permanent exhibition where the visitors are introduced to volcanism and its hazards, the monitoring systems of active volcanoes, and the history of Mt. Vesuvius and the Vesuvius Observatory. It provides an integration between conventional and innovative exhibitions, by implementing the wonderful collections of rocks and minerals, old books, historical instruments, documents and paintings, with computer graphics and multimedia installations. After a long period of about one year – when renovation works were closed – the ROV reopened with a magnificent ceremony, where the rooms of the Museum also hosted an art and photography exhibition by the students of the Karlsruhe Art Academy, the Architecture Faculty of the Zurich University and the Hamburg Academy. The ROV reopening to the public fits in a much wider process of requalification of the Vesuvius region, where, the dissemination of the knowledge of the volcano will promote the proper use of its territory, not only to blow up all the potential of the area, but also to prepare future generations for a more conscious and fruitful use of the resources offered by the area.

    Description: Nel 1891 Adelaide del Balzo Pignatelli, principessa di Strongoli, giunse nell’ex convento fondato alla fine del XVI sec. da suor Orsola Benincasa [De Martino, 1995; Trama, 2000], in qualità d’ispettrice onoraria, e nel 1901 ne divenne l'amministratrice unica, con l’incarico di riorganizzare l’insegnamento femminile. Tra le diverse innovazioni che videro all’opera l'impegno pedagogico della principessa, ci fu sicuramente quello di iniziare le donne alla cultura scientifica. Tale progetto educativo diventò realtà grazie anche alla collaborazione, nel 1892, di Giuseppe Mercalli che accettò la proposta della principessa di insegnare Scienze Naturali alle scuole superiori e Fisica al Magistero. La scoperta di un antico carteggio, posseduto al Suor Orsola Benincasa, testimonia sia l’amicizia tra la principessa e Mercalli, sia tutte le curiosità scientifiche della nobildonna napoletana che Mercalli cercava di soddisfare con la puntualità e lo scrupolo che sempre lo hanno contraddistinto, tanto da inviare alla principessa libri e disegni di sezioni geologiche.

    Description: The Osservatorio Vesuviano (OV) is the oldest volcano observatory in the world having been founded in 1841 by the King of the Two Sicilies Ferdinand II of Bourbon. The historical building, located on the western slope of Vesuvius, hosts a museum with important collections of remarkable scientifc, historical and artistic value, including pioneering instruments, rocks and minerals, photos and flms of Vesuvius’ eruptions and many other memorabilia. Visitors discover this heritage through perma nent exhibitions, and a multimedia path, across the history of Vesuvius and the origin of volcano monitoring. The museum lies within the protected area of Vesuvius National Park, established in 1995. The park’s network of trails allows visitors to enjoy the geodiversity of Somma-Vesuvius, whose activity has been intertwined with that of humans from Bronze Age to modern times, as testifed by many important archaeological sites around the volcano, the most famous among them being Pompeii and Herculaneum. The “Grand Tour” was the cultural journey undertaken in the eighteenth century by European intellectuals, in which Italy was an essential destination; we consider the Museum of the OV an essential stop in a modern “Vesuvius Grand Tour”, a journey through the geological and archaeological heritage of Vesuvius territory. Since 2001, the OV is the Naples section of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofsica e Vulcanologia (INGV), which is primarily tasked with monitoring the three active volcanoes of the Neapolitan area—Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei and Ischia—through an advanced surveillance network
