Carlo Bruno (1831-1916) collaborated in the late 1860s and 1870s on the geological mapping of the Western Alps under the direction of Bartolomeo Gastaldi. During his surveys in the Ligurian and Maritime Alps, Bruno became convinced that the ophiolite-bearing Zona delle Pietre Verdi-considered Paleozoic by Gastaldi-should instead be attributed to th...

The paper outlines the birth and development of petroleum resources mapping in Italy. Starting with the pioneering works of Antonio Stoppani, who in 1866 published the first map of petroleum zones of the Emilia region, thematic cartography went hand in hand with the preparation of the geological map of Italy, a project promoted by the government as...
Article
Antonio Stoppani marks the beginning of petroleum geology in Italy, stimulated by the developments of the newborn American oil industry (1859). Soon after the Italian unification, petroleum exploration was carried out in many areas of the Country, which generated the elaboration of several technical and statistical reports carried out by the Corps...
