Abstract
The volcanic rocks of Central Italy (Fig. 4.1) are divided into three magmatic provinces (van Bergen et al. 1983):
-
In the north, predominantly acid igneous rocks of Amiata, Roccastrada, San Vincenzo, and Elba represent the Tuscan Province.
-
In Central Italy, along the western side of the Apennine Fold Belt, the highly potassic volcanic centres of Vulsini, Vico, Sabatini and Alban Hills form the Roman Province (see also Holm et al. 1982; Rogers et al. 1985).
