Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes from Pantelleria Mediterranean maquis litter. Third contribution
2010
In the third contribution to the study of Pantelleria meditteranean maquis litter, thirteen species of Dematiaceous Hyphomycetes are found and described. Three of them are proposed as new species: Anungitea pseudoramosa, A. sibaensis and Subulispora insularis.

Near 100% Renewable Island with sea wave energy. The case study of Pantelleria in Mediterranean sea
2016
The first aim of this work is to explore the possibility of the transition of a real islanded network from one that is “fuel-based” to a “renewable-based” one. This transition is analysed for the real MV/LV distribution system of the island of Pantelleria, in the Mediterranean Sea. Particularly, this work is focused on a Renewable source nowadays totally unused: wave energy. Thanks to the innovative generator prototype designed by Department of Energy of University of Palermo (Italy), wave energy is able to represent a primary source for the production of electric energy in the Mediterranean islands. The procedures applied in the present article, as well as the main equations used, are the …
Evidence of basaltic magma intrusions in a trachytic magma chamber at Pantelleria (Italy)
2012
In the last 50 ka basalts have erupted outside the margin of the young caldera on the island of Pantelleria. The inner portion of the caldera has instead been filled by trachyte lavas, pantellerite lavas and pumice fall deposits. This paper focuses on a low-volume benmoreite lava topping the trachyte lava pile in the middle of the young caldera. The mineral chemistry, including trace elements in clinopyroxene (LA-ICP-MS), suggests that benmoreite is a hybrid product resulting from mixing between a trachytic magma and a basaltic end member even more primitive than those erupted during the past 50 ka. The principal inference is that basaltic magmas intruded the trachytic magma chamber below t…
Paesaggi politici: il giardino pantesco
2022
It seems that on Pantelleria, described in tourist brochures as 'the black pearl of the Mediterranean', one finds a miniature version of paradise on earth. Compared to Lampedusa, which the honours of the news refer to - sadly - as a land where it is easy to disembark, Pantelleria has steep ridges along almost its entire perimeter. In the long windswept weeks, the obsidian merchants who frequented it for millennia must have seemed unapproachable or, if already there, impossible to leave. Seneca, the first of its illustrious visitors, spoke of it as a 'deserta loca et asperrima', and again in the 18th century the geologist Donald de Dolomieu (before he gave his name to the Alpine Dolomites) h…
