Geomorphological and Morphometric Analyses of the Catanzaro Trough (Central Calabrian Arc, Southern Italy): Seismotectonic Implications
2022
In this work, we investigated the landscape response to the recent activity of the faults affecting the Catanzaro Trough, a seismically active structural basin that developed transversally to the Calabrian Arc (Southern Italy) during the Neogene–Quaternary. We carried out a geomorphological and morphometric study of the drainage networks and basins intercepted by the Quaternary faults that were previously mapped through remote and field analyses. The study confirms the occurrence north of the Catanzaro Trough of a WNW–ESE-oriented left-lateral strike-slip fault system (here named the South Sila Piccola Fault System), which accommodates the differential SE-ward migration of the u…
On the relationships between tectonics and volcanism in the offshore capo vaticano, se tyrrhenian sea, during the plio-pleistocene.
2014
High-resolution bathymetry and a grid of single-channel reflection seismic profiles (Sparker and Chirp) were recently recorded in a sector of the upper slope of Capo Vaticano (CV) promontory (Tyrrhenian coast, W Calabria) where forward and inverse modeling of previously acquired aeromagnetic data highlight the presence of a WNW©\ESE elongated, 20 km long and 3¨C5 km wide, magnetized body extending from sea floor to about 3 km below sea level. Magnetic properties of this body are consistent with those of the medium to highly evolved volcanic rocks of the Aeolian Arc (De Ritis et al., 2010). Forthwith offshore promontory, the bathymetry highlights a complex-shape seamount that develops along …
Crustal architecture and Miocene to Recent evolution of the W Calabria continental margin (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea)

Miocene to Present evolution of the Calabria Tyrrhenian continental margin (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea)
2009
The Miocene to Present evolution of the Calabria Tyrrhenian Continental Margin (CTCM, Southern Tyrrhenian Sea) are reconstructed using two ENE-WSW oriented, near-vertical seismic profiles (CROP-M27 and SISTER 11 lines). The interpreted profiles were time-to-depth converted, merged and translated in a geological section, which was also extended to the Tyrrhenian bathial plain and the Calabrian arc using wide-angle seismic data [Scarascia et al., 1994], and tested with gravity modelling. Across the CTCM, top of KCU is laterally variable in depth forming basins filled by Oligo-Miocene clastic to terrigenous deposits up to 1500m thick. Basins are separated by major structures with contractional…
The transition between the Marsili oceanic crust and the W Calabria rifted margin: rifting and drifting in the upper plate of the Ionian subduction z…
2012
The western Calabria continental margin forms the transition between the Late Pliocene to Recent Marsili spreading center and continental Calabria. Integrating highpenetration and -resolution upper crustal seismic images with seafloor morphology, ODP well data and geological/geophysical constraints we provide a detailed reconstruction of the architecture of the distal portion of the W Calabria rifted margin and of the adjacent Marsili “oceanic” domain (Fig. 1) and develop a scheme for the Pliocene to present rifting and drifting of the upper plate of the Ionian subduction zone. Our seismic data document the presence of stretched and thinned continental crust, less than 10 Km thick into the …
Architecture and kinematics of forearc basins and intra-caldera resurgences: new insight from the Paola Basin (western offshore Calabria region) and …
This thesis deals with the patterns of tectonic deformation at different time and spatial scales ranging from tens to millions of years and from one to tens of kilometers, respectively. The study areas are the Campi Flegrei (Campania region, Italy) and Paola Basin (western offshore Calabria region, Italy). The Campi Flegrei and its offshore prolongation, the Pozzuoli Bay, are a laboratory for investigating volcano-tectonic deformations at 1yr-1kyr timescale and 1km spatial scale related to the dynamics of the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff (NYT) caldera and its intra-caldera resurgence. Resurgence is the late stage, long-term uplift of a collapse caldera floor to form a dome-like structure. The com…

I canti delle tonnare tra Sicilia e Calabria
2021
I canti dei tonnaroti hanno iniziato a essere documentati nella letteratura etnografica verso la fine dell'Ottocento. Alle fonti scritte si affiancano in seguito i filmati e le audioregistrazioni, specialmente legati alla nascita in Italia alla nascita dell'etnomusicologia moderna. Il testo delinea lo sviluppo degli studi su questa tematica, con riferimento alle consuetudini praticate nelle tonnare siciliane e calabresi. The tuna-fishermen's work songs began to be documented at the end of the 19th century in the ethnografic literature. Written sources were later joined by audio recordings and films at the time of modern ethnomusicological research. The text outlines the historical sequence …
