The 1:1M Geological Map of Italy: a milestone in geological knowledge (2021)

unapi

Since 1873, the Geological Survey of Italy has conducted field research aimed at the realization of the official detailed scale geological map of the country. However, among these maps, the Geological Survey cartographic series also includes the Geological Map of Italy at 1:1,000,000 scale. This map, in addition to its intrinsic scientific significance, also has historical and cultural value; the long time span between the first and the last edition allows us to retrace the evolution of scientific knowledge within Italian geological sciences over 100 years.
