Italy is home to many places where basic principles of geology, stratigraphy and palaeontology were established already in the early Renaissance (Leonardo da Vinci, Girolamo Fracastoro, Michele Mercati, Ferrante Imperato, etc.). Fieldtrips in the nearby Southern Alps, as well as in more distant areas (e.g., Sardegna), are offered to the participants before, during and after the meeting. List of destinations is shown below: full details will be posted shortly.
