    Chiarle M., Bondesan A., Carturan L., Scotti R., Annual glaciological survey of Italian glaciers (2023). (IT ISSN 0391-9838, 2024). Results of the 2023 annual glaciological survey conducted on Italian glaciers are here presented. About two-hundred volunteers, assisted by numerous collaborators, operated last year in the three Alpine sectors (Piemonte - Valle d’Aosta, Lombardy and Triveneto) and in the Apennines (Calderone Glacier, Gran Sasso Group) observing two hundred and nine glaciers. One hundred and thirty glaciers were observed in the Piemonte - Valle d’Aosta sector while frontal variation was measured at the snout of fifty-nine glaciers. Twenty-nine and fifty glaciers were visited in the Lombardy Sector and in the Triveneto Sector, respectively (twenty-two and forty-three of which were measured, respectively). Mass balance measurements were conducted on nineteen Italian glaciers during the 2022-2023 hydrological year: four glaciers in the Western Alps (Piemonte - Valle d’Aosta sector), fourteen in the Eastern Alps (three in the Lombardy Sector, the other glaciers in the Triveneto Sector) and one in the Central Apennines
