ISSN 0392-6672. The Monte Corchia cave system, one of the most famous and popular caves in Italy, has in recent times been the subject of investigation on its speleothems as paleoclimate archives. This paper describes the geology, geomorphology and water chemistry of the cave system with the aim to elucidate the processes that have generated these speleothems and the properties they contain that are so useful for paleoclimatology. Some general conclusions can be drawn: i) the Corchia system is a cave developed over different altitudes during progressive uplift of the mountain chain in which it is located, probably under drainage conditions very different to those of the present.

    UNIVERSITÀ DI PISA Corso di Laurea in Scienze e Tecnologie Geologiche Tesi di Laurea Thallium speciation in water and sediments from an abandoned mine site: the case of Valdicastello Carducci (Tuscany, Italy) Candidato: Toller Simone Relatore: Prof. Petrini Riccardo Correlatore: Dott.ssa Casiot Corinne Anno Accademico 2015/2016 Summary The analysis of chemical speciation has an important role in environmental protection since availability, fate and toxicity of a number of potentially toxic elements depend on their chemical form. In particular, thallium has been identified as an environmental significant element, being more toxic to humans than many heavy metals including Hg, Pb and Cd. Thallium can occur in the aqueous phase and sediments in the state of oxidation Tl(I) and Tl(III). Tl(I) is the more thermodynamically stable species under the typical conditions for natural waters. Italian Regulations pose a concentration limit of 2 µg/l for total Tl in groundwater, and do not distinguish among the different Tl species, although some studies highlight a higher toxicity for Tl(III). Thallium concentrations limits are 1 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg (on a dry basis) in soils for residential and industrial use, respectively. This Thesis is focused on the study of occurrence and oxidation state of thallium in waters and sediments sampled in a watershed impacted by past mining, characterized by high thallium concentrations in orebodies. Thallium concentration and speciation were determined at the Hydro Sciences Laboratory of CNRS of Montpellier (France) by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography coupled with Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS). In addition, major ion and trace elements analysis on waters samples were obtained by Ion Chromatography (IC) and ICP-MS at the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Pisa.

  • Changing Campanilismo Localism and the Use of Nicknames in a Tuscan Mountain Village Herman Tak
    Changing Campanilismo Localism and the Use of Nicknames in a Tuscan Mountain Village Herman Tak Changing Campanilismo . Localism and the Use of Nicknames in a Tuscan Moun­ tain Village . - Ethnologia Europaea XVIII: 149-160. Campanilismo is a well-known phenomenon in Italy. An important aspect of this parochialism in a Tuscan mountain village is the idea of being more "civilized" compared with the other surrounding villages, as can be seen in the offensive role of collective nicknames . Campanilismo is a boundary mechanism that is con­ nected with the closeness and commitment between villages. It is not a simple mechanism that makes a distinction between insiders and outsiders but it differ­ entiates them both. Because this closeness and commitment have largely dis­ appeared today, it is logically that a part of its vocabulary, like the collective and personal nicknames, will fade away too.
