      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>The Museum of Natural History of the University of Florence, founded in 1775 by Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo d'Asburgo Lorena, is one of the oldest and most prestigious scientific museums in the world. 
The fourth volume on the Collections of the Mineralogy and Lithology Section, published like the previous volumes by the Firenze University Press, fits perfectly in the series dedicated to the collections of the University's Museum System.
The first part of the book describes in great detail the paths that led to the formation of the collections, starting with those dating to the Medici period and arriving at the specimens collected during recent expeditions. The second part illustrates and documents the extraordinary specimens of minerals, hardstone carvings and meteorites which represent the material patrimony of this section. Particular attention is given to the holotypes, the Elban Collection and the minerals of pegmatites, as well as the methods and solutions adopted to realize the project of the new museum exhibition set-up. The third and last part describes the studies carried out on the materials: from the minerals of the systematic collections to the rock specimens that recount not only the geodiversity of a region but also the history of a city.</p>

        <p>Il Museo di Storia Naturale dell'Università degli Studi di Firenze, fondato nel 1775 dal Granduca Pietro Leopoldo d'Asburgo Lorena, è uno dei più antichi e prestigiosi musei scientifici del mondo. 
Il quarto volume sulle Collezioni della Sezione di Mineralogia e Litologia, pubblicato come i precedenti dalla Firenze University Press, si inserisce in perfetta continuità nella serie dedicata alle collezioni del Sistema Museale di Ateneo.
La prima parte del volume illustra, con ricchezza di particolari, i percorsi che hanno condotto alla formazione delle raccolte, partendo da quelle risalenti al periodo mediceo per arrivare ai campioni raccolti nelle spedizioni degli anni più recenti. La seconda parte mostra e documenta gli straordinari esemplari di minerali, pietre lavorate e meteoriti che rappresentano il patrimonio materiale di questa Sezione. Un particolare rilievo viene dato anche agli olotipi, alla Collezione elbana, ai minerali delle pegmatiti nonché alle modalità e soluzioni adottate per realizzare il progetto museografico del nuovo percorso espositivo. Nella terza e ultima parte, infine, vengono descritte le ricerche compiute sui materiali: dai minerali delle collezioni sistematiche ai campioni di rocce che raccontano non solo la geodiversità di una regione ma anche la storia di una città.</p>
