Beneath the Tuscan countryside that powers the oldest geothermal energy grid on Earth, seismic imaging has now mapped more than 5,000 cubic kilometres of molten rock sitting less than 10 kilometres below the surface, a volume on the scale of the magma reservoirs that produced the largest eruptions in human prehistory.

Geologists have discovered a hitherto unrecognized magmareservoir in seismic measurements under Tuscany.It has the dimensions of a super volcanoWho thinks of Tuscany, probably the hilly cultural landscapes of central Italy appear in front of the inner eye. But not a huge magmareservoir, whose size is comparable to the super volcano system under the Yellowstone National Park. However, this is exactly what a Swiss-Italian research team has discove…
Under the hills and geothermal fields of Tuscany, in Italy, a colossal magmatic system is hidden.
