The Gran Sasso INFN Laboratory, conceived by Antonino Zichichi approximately 30 years ago, is the largest underground laboratory in the world devoted to astroparticle physics. The main characteristics of the Gran Sasso Laboratory together with an overview of its broad scientific activities will be reviewed. 328 Subnuclear Physics: Past, Present and Future ORIGIN AND STATUS OF THE GRAN SASSO INFN LABORATORY A briefbrief historyhistory off thethe GGranran SassoSasso LaboratoryLaboratory TheThe proposalproposal toto buildbuild a largelarge undergroundunderground LaboratoryLaboratory underunder thethe GranGran SassoSasso massifmassif waswas submittedsuubmbmitted inin latelate 1970s191970s byby thethe thenthen PresidentPresident ofof INFNINFN AntoninoAntonino Zichichi.Zichichi.

A visionary and tough decision by those who have made the environment their resource and will project Abruzzo into a major and leading role in “green tourism”. Overall most of this legacy – but not all – is to be found in the mountains, where the landscapes and ecosystems change according to altitude, shifting from typically Mediterranean milieus to outright alpine scenarios, with mugo pine groves and high-altitude steppe. Of all the Apennine regions, Abruzzo is distinctive for its prevalently mountainous nature, -
The Integrated Supervision and Control System of the Gran Sasso Mountain
Safety and Security Engineering 699 The integrated supervision and control system of the Gran Sasso mountain F. Garzia INFOCOM Department, University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Italy Abstract A high safety and security level of a complex system is very difficult to reach, guarantee and manage if the system is characterized by a peculiar complexity and physical extension, due to the elevated number of parameters to be checked and controlled. The use of human resources needs an elevated number of personnel members that could not only be unable to reach the desired goal but could also be exposed to severe risks in the presence of dangerous and emergency situations. For this reason it is necessary to use integrated supervision and control systems that are capable of managing the elevated number of parameters involved, reducing the number of personnel members and increasing their functionalities and operability. In this paper the integrated supervision and control system of the Gran Sasso mountain (Italy), characterized by a high and unique complexity from the international point of view, is illustrated. Keywords: integrated system, telecommunication system, safety system, security system, emergency management system. 1 Introduction The Gran Sasso (“big rock”) mountain is located in the centre of Italy, about 120 km east of Rome, between the L’Aquila city province and Teramo city province, in the Abruzzo region. It belongs to a system of mountains that practically separates the Adriatic sea (east) from Tirrenian sea (west) in the middle of Italy. The higher peak of Gran Sasso mountain is represented by Corno Grande (“big horn”), that is about 3000 metres above the sea level. -
Biological Anomalies Around the 2009 L'aquila Earthquake
Animals 2013, 3, 693-721; doi:10.3390/ani3030693 OPEN ACCESS animals ISSN 2076-2615 www.mdpi.com/journal/animals Article Biological Anomalies around the 2009 L’Aquila Earthquake Cristiano Fidani Central Italy Electromagnetic Network, 63847 San Procolo, Fermo, Italy; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0753-4060; Fax: +39-0753-4036 Received: 4 February 2013; in revised form: 30 July 2013 / Accepted: 31 July 2013 / Published: 6 August 2013 Simple Summary: Earthquakes have been seldom associated with reported non-seismic phenomena observed weeks before and after shocks. Non-seismic phenomena are characterized by radio disturbances and light emissions as well as degassing of vast areas near the epicenter with chemical alterations of shallow geospheres (aquifers, soils) and the troposphere. Many animals are sensitive to even the weakest changes in the environment, typically responding with behavioral and physiological changes. A specific questionnaire was developed to collect data on these changes around the time of the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake. Abstract: The April 6, 2009 L’Aquila earthquake was the strongest seismic event to occur in Italy over the last thirty years with a magnitude of M = 6.3. Around the time of the seismic swarm many instruments were operating in Central Italy, even if not dedicated to biological effects associated with the stress field variations, including seismicity. Testimonies were collected using a specific questionnaire immediately after the main shock, including data on earthquake lights, gas leaks, human diseases, and irregular animal behavior. The questionnaire was made up of a sequence of arguments, based upon past historical earthquake observations and compiled over seven months after the main shock. -

Le autorità italiane, considerando il massiccio montuoso abruzzese un luogo di prigionia inaccessibile, ne rinforzarono le difese naturali: diversi presidi militari vennero dislocati nei pochi punti ritenuti accessibili. Uno di questi era ad Assergi, località ubicata ai piedi del Gran Sasso, nella stretta valle del Raiale, via d'accesso alla funivia del grande altopiano di Campo Imperatore, che parte dalla contrada Fonte Cerreto. -

PERCORSO MEMORIA NATURA COMUNE DELL’AQUILA Assessorato Alla Cultura Logo Percorso Memoria Natura Di Sara Chiaranzelli (
PERCORSO MEMORIA NATURA COMUNE DELL’AQUILA Assessorato alla Cultura Logo Percorso Memoria Natura di Sara Chiaranzelli (www.sarachiaranzelli.com) Ho ideato il logo del Percorso Memoria Natura tenendo conto di alcune carat- teristiche simboliche che meglio possono identificare i sentieri compiuti dai Partigiani durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale: la spirale, i papaveri e il filo spinato. La spirale raffigura il percorso, il cammino in progressione verso l’aper- tura della salvezza. Il papavero è il fiore per eccellenza più comunemente usato per ricordare i caduti in battaglia. Il filo spinato è il simbolo della reclusione estrema dei lager. Ho ideato il logo concependo dei fiori di papavero animati dal dolore del filo spinato, uniti nel percorso che da un nodo centrale drammatico riparte verso la salvezza, che procede prima a piccoli passi per poi divenire sempre più grandi e ampi, così come sono le evoluzioni della spirale. Il messaggio che il logo ha intenzione di esprimere è quello della rinascita della libertà dopo i drammi della guerra che tutti amaramente conosciamo.

Campo Imperatore’s seemingly endless plateau stretches south of the massif, at a 1,800 metres asl. The Laga Mountains are copiously endowed with springs, watercourses and forests. Mount Majella, bound to the Morrone massif, soars over the lands of Abruzzo, between the sea and the Apennine chain: local people have always called it their “mother mountain”. Between the mountains and the seas the hills bear clear signs of their continual evolution, slipping into the clay valley, where badlands etch away the curves of the horizon. Mountain slopes with a scent of the sea As summer rolls in and the snows have all melted, the blinding green of the beech forests and endless pastures make Abruzzo’s mountains truly irresistible. In summer the luxuriant flourish of nature paints the entire region with ripe splendour: the greenest woods and meadows in the slopes; rolling plateaux dotted with pasturing cattle and sheep; the sweep of a countryside that bears no trace of the steep, brooding mountain slopes; the sparkling fresh air scented with sea breezes (the sea is in the air even on the highest peaks, and is clearly visible just a few kilometres away, as the crow flies); the marvellous state of preservation of settlements, set in timeless landscapes, make the mountains of Abruzzo a very special place, which can really steal a visitor’s Abruzzo Promozione Turismo - Corso V.
