Abstract
This project describes the geologic history and evolution of Italy over the past 250 million years. The geologic evolution of Italy has been distilled from scientific literature and written in terms understandable for general audiences. The geology of Italy is closely intertwined with Italian culture. Throughout the project this connection is highlighted through a choice of interesting natural and cultural features. This project can be a useful tool as general introductory material to Italy’s geologic history for geologists, teachers, students especially for those attending field camps in Italy, amateur geologists and the general public.
