Editorial

<jats:p>Dear AG Readers,   It is with great pleasure and pride that I introduce to you this special volume of Annals of Geophysics titled “Embracing the past, empowering the present, and envisioning the future”. As Editor-in-Chief, I am thrilled to present a collection of articles that celebrates 25 years of INGV excellence, within the realm of geophysical disciplines. This volume showcases the outstanding contributions of our esteemed colleagues who have made themselves available to participate as authors in the compilation of this volume. Their participation is rooted in the numerous projects, collaborations, and cultural exchanges they have had over time with all the personnel of our Institute, which have allowed the advancement of knowledge in the various scientific disciplines covered. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all authors, reviewers, and editorial board members whose dedication has made this milestone possible. Over the past 6 months we have worked hard to curate this special issue of Annals of Geophysics.  I would like to acknowledge the generous help of A. Grazia Chiodetti, who has been consistently present in every stage of editing the papers, and not least Emanuela Bagnato, Felicia Corsale and M. Chiara Piazza in following up with the authors and compiling the papers into the special issue. Without their assistance, the production of this volume would have been significantly more difficult, if not impossible. I'd like to finally thank Enrico Rocchetti, Simone Vecchi and Barbara Angioni for helping us have a well-made and always up-to-date website. I would like to thank all the referees for their excellent work in reviewing the scientific papers in such a short time. I invite you to explore these pages and delve into the diverse insights and discoveries that define our field. May this volume inspire further exploration and collaboration in the years to come. Warm regards, Editor-in-Chief</jats:p>
