Today we had one of the last classes of "Geologia applicata" so the teacher decided that we can go out on the field and do some practical lesson. So we went to Colli Euganei to visit two quarries. First one, Cava Montemerlo is an active trachyte quarry which exploits the rocks and sells them especially to the municipality. The other one, Cava Bomba is an inactive quarry transformed in a really nice museum. There have been found some fossils so now they even organize junior-school excursions where the kids can look for fossils embedded into the rocks.
Is is nice to have such a nice and rustique place as close as Parco Regionale dei Colli Euganei is from Padova, a perfect place to escape from the crowded and busy city in a Saturday afternoon.
