Research activity
- metamorphic petrology: reconstruction of the P-T path and fluid-rock interaction of high-pressure and ultra high-pressure metamorphic rocks of both Continental and Oceanic crust from the western Alps, Calabria and Sicily (Italy), Dabie Shan and Sulu (China), and Sifnos, Cyclades (Greece);
- fluid-rock interaction during subduction with special attention to the origin of "whiteschists" (continental crust) and jadeitites (oceanic lithosphere);
- stratigraphy and metamorphic evolution of the crystalline basements from the western Alps (Helvetic, Penninic and Austroalpine domains), and the Calabrian-Peloritan Arc, southern Italy;
- petrology and evolution of serpentinized ultramafics with special attention to the development of rodingites and metamorphic veins with fibrous minerals;
- archeometry of south European "jades" and studies on rock deterioration and conservation of Italian monuments;
- popularization of geology and petrology of the western Alps and Calabrian-Peloritan Arc, southern Italy.
The research activity is documented by about 160 articles mainly published in International Journals, and 5 geological maps.
