The Ernici-Roccamonfina Province
The Ernici-Roccamonfina Province is sited on the western side of Central Apennines, between the Ancona-Anzio (or Olevano-Antrodoco) and the Ortona-Roccamonfina tectonic lines. Volcanic rocks exhibit a very wide range of compositions, from calcalkaline (CA

Preface
The Cenozoic volcanism in the Tyrrhenian Sea region shows a very wide range of petrological, geochemical and isotopic compositions, which cover almost entirely the field of igneous rock occurring worldwide. Volcanic activity took place contemporaneously with the opening of the LigurianProvençal and Tyrrhenian Sea basins, and with the formation of the Apennine-Maghrebian chain. Its occurrence in the hearth of the Mediterranean Sea and the spectacular eruptions of active volcanoes such as Etna and Vesuvio, attracted the attention of scholars since ancient times. Modern science has been interested to this volcanism because of its compositional complexity and the variety of volcanological processes taking place at the active and dormant centres. My book published by Springer in 2005 and entitled Plio-Quaternary Vo
