The President of the Chamber of Deputies, the Honorable Laura Boldrini, visited Stromboli. Her guide was the President of theIstituto Nazionale di Geofisica e VulcanologiaCarlo Doglioni, with an INGV team, illustrated the seismic, volcanic, and geochemical monitoring network of one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
Characterized by a persistent explosive activity, called Strombolian, the volcanic edifice of Stromboli rises over 920 meters above sea level. Since January 2003, INGV has activated a multi-parameter monitoring system for the volcano, designed to detect and analyze the activity and eruptive processes taking place on the island. The volcano represents an exceptional natural laboratory which regularly hosts measurement campaigns and the development of cutting-edge technologies for the study of active volcanoes. The current INGV surveillance network consists of seismic, infrasonic, geomagnetic, geoelectric, gravimetric and GPS stations.
