Introduction
My current research is focused on the study of metamorphic basement rocks and metamorphic processes using field, petrographic-microstructural and petrological methodologies, including multiple modelling approaches such as thermodynamic modelling, elastic thermobarometry and multicomponent diffusion modelling.

A sample from the Punta de li Tulchi granulitized eclogite, cropping out within the Variscan migmatites of NE Sardinia, was investigated by LA-ICPMS garnet U–Pb age dating. The majority of U-Pb analyses define a regression line with a lower intercept date of 395.1 ± 9.8 / 12.4 Ma. In addition, nine data points define a second regression line with a...
In this study, we investigated the Zicavo Metamorphic Complex (southern Corsica), which is part of the innermost Axial Zone of the Corsica-Sardinia Variscan belt. To better evaluate its geological and structural outline, a 1:5000 geological map, coupled with new structural/microstructural and petrographic data, is presented. The complex is formed b...
The Zicavo Metamorphic Complex (ZMC) represents one of the few relicts of the Corsica Variscan basement.
Here, three tectonic units are recognized, separated by strike-slip shear zones: the orthogneiss unit, the leptynoamphibolite unit, and the micaschist unit. The complex shows a polyphasic deformation history, with the main
phase resulting in the...
The Mt. Filau Orthogneiss belongs to the low-pressure (LP) - high-temperature (HT) Sulcis Metamorphic Complex located in the foreland zone of the Variscan belt (southern Sardinia). It consists of a core of orthogneiss and high metamorphic grade host rock tectonically juxtaposed below weakly- to non-metamorphic tectonic units, by the Tuerredda ducti...
The south-western Sardinian coast (Italy), in the sector between the small village of Chia (Domus de Maria) and the Piscinnì locality (Teulada), is one of the most interesting of the island, being characterized by a wide geodiversity, a complex history testified by several archaeological sites, rich ecosystems, and beautiful landscapes. This area i...
The Zicavo septum in central-southern Corsica represents one of the few Variscan metamorphic units of the Corsica Island, largely intruded by late Variscan granitoids. The septum is NE-SW oriented while the main structures have a NW-SE general strike. From bottom to top, it consists of i) an orthogneiss unit; ii) a leptynite-amphibolite unit and ii...
The Zicavo septum in southern Corsica represents one of the Variscan remnants intruded by late Hercynian granitoids. It is made up of the following lithological units cropping out along a NNE-SSW direction with a general NW-SE striking trend: i) an augen orthogneiss; ii) a leptynite-amphibolite series with metapelites and serpentinite bodies, and i...
