Gruppo Mineralogico Geologico Napoletano (GMGN) is a non-profit organization founded in Naples in
1980 by three mineralogy fans: Massimo Russo, Giovanni Coslovich and Claudio Lombardo (the latter two left
the group over time).
Over the years GMGN has built up a remarkable experience in the field, so that it has substantially
contributed to a better knowledge of the mineralogy of the Neapolitan area, especially Somma-Vesuvius and
Campi Flegrei areas. It has enjoyed the collaboration of several major national and foreign research institutes:
universities of Bari, Napoli, Milano, Pisa, Roma, the British Museum of London, and the Muséum National
d'Histoire Naturelle of Paris. At the present GMGN cooperates with Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e
Vulcanologia sezione di Napoli, Osservatorio Vesuviano, Dipartimento di Chimica Strutturale e Stereochimica
Inorganica, University of Milano and Associazione Micromineralogica Italiana....
