Geological Map of the Park

In 2000 the Park Authority financed the printing and circulation of two 100x70 cm pieces of paper. The first is the Geological Map of the Park of the Apuan Alps with a scale ratio of 1:50,000 and the second focuses on the geological cross-sections and structures of the Apuan Alps. The publication was edited by the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Siena and saw the contribution of famous scientists and researchers – Luigi Carmignani, Gaetano Giglia and Marco Meccheri just to name a few – who have been working for years on the surveys and structural interpretation of the Apuan Alps. The Geological Map of the Apuan Park follows the geological mapping tradition which, since the second half of the 19th century, has been focused on the Apuan territory reaching a level of details and precision not found elsewhere. Technical importance aside, the language used and the information provided are really valuable

Geomorphological and Neotectonic Map of the Park

In 2015 the Park Authority financed the printing and circulation of two map sheets 100x70 cm: a geomorphological map of Apuan Alps Regional Park and its immediate surroundings at a scale of 1:50,000 and two thematic maps at a scale of 1:100,000 (‘Neotectonic Map’ and the ‘Map of Selected Sites of Geomorphological Significance’) and other four thematic maps at a scale of 1:200,000 that present the relief, slope aspects, drainage networks, and climatic elements of the region.
This map was edited by the Universities of Pisa and Siena. The authors are Carlo Baroni, Pierluigi Pieruccini, Monica Bini, Mauro Coltorti, Pier Luigi Fantozzi, Giulia Guidobaldi, Daniele Nannini, Adriano Ribolini and Maria Cristina Salvatore.
