Trees are sparse and low scrub is the predominant vegetation. – It’s part of the national parks system of Italy, in 2002 the island was converted to a wildlife and marine preserve. – In 1885 the island became a Lazaretto and an agricultural penal colony (till 1998). About 100 families of Sardinian farmers and Genoese fishermen who lived on Asinara were obliged to move to Sardinia, where they founded the village of Stintino. Asino dell’Asinara (Asinara Donkey) Origins: - Uncertain but oral records report the presence of white donkeys on the island since the end of XIX century. - the appearance of the white coat in more recent times is probably due to a random mutation that spread to all the population. Morphology: it is small and the size is similar to the Sardinian donkey; the most important difference is the white coat, that probably belongs to a form of incomplete albinism .

Marine geological mapping of the Campania Region at the 1:10.000 scale is herein presented, focussing, in particular, on the geological map n. 465 “Isola di Procida” (Ispra, 2011). The geological map n. 465 “Isola di Procida” covers the Naples Bay from the Sorrento Peninsula up to the Procida island. In this geological map a total amount of 622 km2 of surface about 10 km2 are represented by emerged areas and 612 km2 by marine areas. The bathymetric belt 0/200 extends for 378 km2 and represents about the 60.8% of the total surface of the map. Sidescan sonar data have been calibrated by numerous sea bottom samples. The geological structures overlying the outcrop of acoustic basement, both carbonate (in correspondence to the Sorrento Peninsula) and volcanic (in correspondence to the Phlegrean Fields) have been investigated using Subbottom Chirp, Sparker and Watergun profiles. The interpretation of seismic data lends support for the reconstruction of the stratigraphic and structural setting of Quaternary continental shelf and slope successions and correlation to outcrops of acoustic basement, Mesozoic carbonate in the Sorrento Peninsula structural high and Quaternary volcanic in the Phlegrean Fields and Procida island. These areas result from the seaward prolongation of the stratigraphic and structural units widely cropping out in the surrounding emerged sector of the Sorrento Peninsula (Cinque et al., 1997), Naples town, Phlegrean Fields and Procida island (Scarpati et al., 1993; Perrotta et al., 2010; Ispra, 2011).

  • Geomorphological Evolution of Phlegrean Volcanic Islands Near Naples, Southern Italy1
    Berlin .Stuttgart Geomorphological evolution of Phlegrean volcanic islands near Naples, southern Italy1 by G.AIELLO, D.BARRA, T.DE PIPPO, C.DONADIO, and C.PETROSINO with 9 figures and 5 tables Summary. Using volcanological, morphological, palaeoecological and geoarchaeological data we reconstructed the complex evolution of the island volcanic system of Procida-Vivara, situated west of Naples betweenthe lsland of lschia and the PhlegreanFields, far the last 75 ky. Late Pleistocenemorphological evolution was chiefly controlled by a seriesof pyroclas­ tic eruptions that resulted in at least eight volcanic edifices, mainly under water. Probably the eruptive centresshifted progressively clockwise until about 18 ky BP when volcanic develop­ ment on the islands ceased. The presenceof stretches of marine terraces and traces of wave cut notches, both be­ low and abovè'current sea levels, the finding of exposed infralittoral rnicrofossils, and the identification of three palaeo-surfacesburied by palaeosoilsindicates at least three differen­ tial uplift phases.These phases interacted with postglacial eustaticfIuctuations, and were sep­ arated by at least two periods of generai stability in vertical movements. A final phase of ground stability, characterisedby the deposition of Phlegrean and lschia pyroclastics, start­ ed in the middle Holocene. Finally, fIattened surfacesand a sandy tombolo developedup to the present-day. Recent archaeological surveys and soil-borings at Procida confirm the presence of a lagoon followed by marshland at the back of a sandy tombolo that were formed after the last uplift between the Graeco-Roman periodandthe15di_16dicentury. These areaswere gradu­ ally filled with marine and continental sedimentsup to the 20di century. ' Finally, our investigation showed that the volcanic sector of Procida-Vivara in the late Pleistocene-Holocenewas affected by vertical displacementswhich were independent of and less marked than the concurrent movement in the adjacent sectors of lschia and of the Phle­ grean Fields.

  • DESERTMED a Project About the Deserted Islands of the Mediterranean
    DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean The islands, and all the more so the deserted island, is an extremely poor or weak notion from the point of view of geography. This is to it’s credit. The range of islands has no objective unity, and deserted islands have even less. The deserted island may indeed have extremely poor soil. Deserted, the is- land may be a desert, but not necessarily. The real desert is uninhabited only insofar as it presents no conditions that by rights would make life possible, weather vegetable, animal, or human. On the contrary, the lack of inhabitants on the deserted island is a pure fact due to the circumstance, in other words, the island’s surroundings. The island is what the sea surrounds. What is de- serted is the ocean around it. It is by virtue of circumstance, for other reasons that the principle on which the island depends, that the ships pass in the distance and never come ashore.“ (from: Gilles Deleuze, Desert Island and Other Texts, Semiotext(e),Los Angeles, 2004) DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean Desertmed is an ongoing interdisciplina- land use, according to which the islands ry research project. The “blind spots” on can be divided into various groups or the European map serve as its subject typologies —although the distinctions are matter: approximately 300 uninhabited is- fluid. lands in the Mediterranean Sea. A group of artists, architects, writers and theoreti- cians traveled to forty of these often hard to reach islands in search of clues, impar- tially cataloguing information that can be interpreted in multiple ways.

The data available on the herpetofauna of the Archipelago della Maddalena are mainly based on investigations carried out during the 1980’s by the Sezione di Zoologia “La Specola” of the Museo di Storia Naturale dell’Università di Firenze. Such records have not been specifically updated successively. Here field data on the composition and distribution of the herpetofauna of the Archipelago are presented, with particular attention to the micro-insular areas for which no bibliographic data were available. Between 2011 and 2012 a total of 51 islands and islets have been visited: new records have been gained for 15 islands and islets already studied in past while on 4 the herpetofauna has been recorded for the first time. The lack of herpetofauna on 9 islets and rocks seemingly never previously studied has been reported too. Keywords. Herpetofauna, Mediterranean Islands, La Maddalena Archipelago. INTRODUCTION The present knowledge on the herpetofauna of the Archipelago della Mad- dalena is mainly based on the results of investigations carried out during the 1980s by the Museo di Storia Naturale dell’Università degli Studi di Firenze, Sezione di Zoologia “La Specola” under the direction of Benedetto Lanza and in the frame- work of a national research-project focused on the flora and fauna of the Sardinian satellite islands.
