Biodiversity in the quarry area
The first title in the new series “L’osservatorio”, promoted and published by Nuova Demi SpA. The publication documents the work of observation and scientific research conducted in about forty years by the passionate and knowledgeable naturalist Guerino Morselli in the Nuova Demi quarry of Brembate. A daily task that allowed him to photograph, identify and analyze the process of progressive development of the quarry area subject to environmental restoration, with the creation
of a new natural ecosystem characterized by a new and exceptionally rich biodiversity.

Province of Bergamo – What lies beneath it?
THE WORLD BENEATH OUR FEET
What we are and the environment in which we live are determined by the retreating seas, by the forgotten volcanoes, in the legacy of the glaciations and in the other extremely slow, but powerful events that shaped the Earth’s crust.
Life and Earth are the constant evolution of the dynamics that started millions of years ago and that will continue until our planet will cease to exist.
Working rocks to create tools and shelters was one of man’s first activities, long before agriculture.
Even today, many geological eras later, subsurface materials are essential to the development of our civilization.
Browsing this brochure we will discover the many wonders of this delicate starship on which we are travelling through space.
