    • Alessandro Malladra (Torino, 1865 - Roma, 1944)
    • A teacher at the Rosmini College in Domodossola until he was appointed by Mercalli as his assistant at the Vesuvius Observatory. After Mercalli’s death, he became curator then later director of the Observatory from 1927 until 1935. He was also General Secretary of the Volcanology Section of the International Union of Geodetics and Geophysics from 1919 until 1936. He was President of this same Union from 1930 until 1933. He restructured the meteorological service and was also responsible for organising gravimetric and altimetric surveys on Mt. Vesuvius. He constantly studied and observed the Volcano’s eruptive activity, particularly the morphology of the crater. He published a series of articles in the Vesuvius Observatory Annals and was an excellent publicist for information regarding Mt. Vesuvius and its activities.

    • PROF. ALESSANDRO MALLADRA, the successor of Mercalli at the Royal Vesuvian observa tory, has published a number of papers, from 1912 onwards, on the volcanic manifestations and progres sive changes in the great crater farmed in 1906. It has been possible in recent years to descend, by hazard ous paths, to the edge of the central funnel, 250 metres below the crater-edge, and valuable observations have been made on the gases emitted from the fumaroles. Prof. Malladra furnishes a well-illustrated summary of the conditions in 1914 in "Nel cratere del Vesuvio" (Boll, reale Soc.
    • Malladra, Alessandro. - Vulcanologo italiano (Torino 1865 - Roma 1944); prof. di scienze naturali nel collegio Mellerio-Rosmini di Domodossola, dal 1910 lavorò nell'Osservatorio vesuviano di cui fu a lungo direttore (incaricato dal 1914, effettivo dal 1927 al 1935). Autore di importanti scritti geologici e soprattutto vulcanologici (tra i quali particolarmente notevole Il Vesuvio dal 1906 al 1920, 1926), diresse gli Annali dell'Osservatorio vesuviano e il Bulletin volcanologique. Gli fu dedicato il minerale malladrite.

    • Il museo del Collegio Mellerio Rosmini occupa tre locali a piano terra, nel lato rivolto a sud. Il primo locale è intestato al prof. Alessandro Malladra (1865 – 1944) che ha insegnato scienze naturali in collegio dal 1890 al 1910 succedendo al Prof. Rossi; poi, nel 1910 è passato a dirigere l’Osservatorio geofisico del Vesuvio. Egli durante il periodo dell’insegnamento scrisse pubblicazioni, fece conferenze, e promosse altre manifestazioni tra le quali ricordiamo le seguenti: nel 1898 diresse l’osservatorio meteorologico del collegio succedendo a padre Calza, nel 1906 propose e installò un sismografo, fece sorgere Oscella, rivista mensile, pubblicata per gli ex allievi.
    • Mellerio Rosmini College museum occupies three rooms on the ground floor, in the side facing south. The first location is the name of the prof. Malladra Alexander (1865 - 1944) who taught science natural college from 1890 to 1910 in succession to Professor Smith, then in 1910 switched to direct Geophysical Observatory of Vesuvius. He wrote during the period of study publications, made conferences and other events promoted among which include: in 1898 he directed the meteorological observatory of the college going to sock father in 1906 proposed and installed a seismograph, gave rise Oscella, a monthly magazine published for the alumni.
    • In onore del prof. Malladra venne dedicato un minerale, la Malladrite, Na2 Si F6 un fluorosilicato. Il prof. Malladra ha lasciato in questo museo una larghissima traccia, come vedremo. Questa sala è occupata da tutta la Collezione litologica. Da sinistra a destra vediamo da prima una grande vetrina, con le rocce del Sempione, poi due grandi vetrine di minerali, ed una vetrina didattica, oltre alla perforatrice collocata al centro. Nella prima vetrina, a sinistra, sono riuniti tutti i campioni delle rocce incontrate nello scavo della galleria ferroviaria del Sempione e sopra di essi una bella collezione di marmi e pietre decorative usate in edilizia. Della collezione delle rocce del Sempione esistono soltanto due collezioni; una è questa, e l’altra è al Museo Galletti di Domo. Le indicazioni di questa raccolta sono in disaccordo con le previsioni dei geologi d’allora, tanto che si è detto che se i geologi avessero previsto esattamente questi giacimenti, il Sempione non si sarebbe mai forato. E’ stato dunque meglio sbagliare! Veramente, la previsione esatta era stata quella del geologo svizzero Gerlack, scomparso prima dell’opera. Fra i campioni non vediamo quello della eclogite, roccia durissima della Valle Antrona. Lungo la via da Varzo a Iselle c'era il villaggio, di Balmalonesca, villaggio di minatori, con grandi bevute e molte risse.
    • In honor of prof. Malladra was named a mineral, Malladra, Na2 F6 is a fluorosilicate. Prof. Malladra left in this museum a very wide track, as we shall see. This room is occupied by the whole lithological Collection. From left to right we see at first a large window, with the Simplon rocks, minerals and two large windows and a showcase teaching, in addition to drill placed in the center. The first showcase, left, met all the samples of the rocks encountered in the excavation of the Simplon railway tunnel and over them a fine collection of marble and decorative stones used in construction. The collection of the Simplon rocks there are only two collections, this one is, the other is the Museum of Domo Galletti. The information in this collection are in disagreement with the predictions of the geologists of that time, much has been said that if geologists had predicted exactly these deposits, the Simplon would never drilled. It 'was therefore better to err! Actually, the accurate prediction was that of the Swiss geologist Gerlack, who died before the work. Among the samples we see that the eclogites, hard rock Antrona Valley. Along the way to Varzo Iselle was the village of Balmalonesca, mining village, with great drinks and many fights.
    • A direzione dell' Impresa costruttrice del traforo c’erano l’ing. Brandt e l’ing. Brandau, l'ing. Brandt, logorato dalla vitaccia di lavoro soccombette prima della fine (n. 1845 -m. 1899) e l'ing. Brandau, di Cassel, uscito dal politecnico di Zurigo (n. 1849 -m. 1917) terminò l'opera. Egli si recava periodicamente ai laghi di Avino, Bianco, e delle Streghe, all'alpe Veglia, per constatare il livello dell'acqua. L'ing. Rossemundt era il tecnico topografo del Monte Leone. Il prof. Alessandro Malladra, rosminiano, del corpo insegnante del collegio, seguì da vicino il progresso faticoso e pericoloso dell'opera, anche con il suo consiglio e la sua esperienza, a lato degli ing. Brandt e Brandau, costruttori e direttori dei lavori.
    • At the direction of 'tunnel construction companies were Ing. Brandt and Eng. Brandau, Eng. Brandt, worn by the terrible life working succumbed before the end (b. 1845-m. 1899) and Ing. Brandau, of Cassel, left the Polytechnic in Zurich (b. 1849-m. 1917) completed the work. He regularly went to the lakes of Avino, White, and Witches, Alpe Veglia to see the water level. Engineer. Rossemundt topographer was coach of Mount Leone. Prof. Alexander Malladra, Rosmini, the faculty of the College, followed closely progress difficult and dangerous work, even with his advice and his experience on side of Eng. Brandt and Brandau, builders and project managers.
    • Esiste al centro di questa sala un cimelio molto importante ed interessante, la perforatrice; usata per scavare fori da mina in galleria. Era idraulica. Questa perforatrice, del peso di più che 4 quintali, e della quale esistono oggi solo quattro esemplari, cioè uno qui, l'altro al museo Galletti di Domo, ed altri due in Svizzera, ha indicato la via a tutte le altre attuali velocissime macchine effossorie, da galleria e da cava. E’ da notare il grande diametro dei fori da mina, perchè allora gli esplosivi avevano una potenza dirompente inferiore alla attuale. Lo studioso potrà poi vedere e constatare che la perforatrice ha tutti i particolari studiati bene e rispondenti al pesante scopo di ottenere un rapido lavoro di scavo.
    • There in the middle of this room a very important and interesting relic, the drill, used to dig holes in the mine tunnel. Was hydraulic. This drill, weighing more than 4 tons, and of which there are now only four copies, ie one here and one in the museum Galletti Domo, and two in Switzerland, has shown the way to all other existing fast cars effossorie from tunnel and quarry. It 'worth noting the large diameter of the shot holes, then why the explosives had an explosive power than the present. The student can then view and held that the drill has all the details well designed and responsive to heavy order to get a quick work of digging.
    • Questo cimelio è stato esposto alla Mostra delle Scienze e della Tecnica di Milano, nel 1956, per il cinquantenario della Galleria del Sempione. La sua semplicità fa meglio apprezzare la fatica dei minatori, minacciati dalla silicosi. Nella vetrina di sinistra, dopo i campioni del Sempione, esiste, sopra, una buona collezione di pietre decorative e levigate, interessanti per l'edilizia, in misure opportune, per l'osservazione. E’ quasi completa, per noi Italiani, ma naturalmente incompleta per una collezione internazionale. A destra entrando, in una vetrinetta è collocato, al basso, il lavoro fatto pazientemente da un artigiano, il minatore capo Zerbini a tempo perso, Egli ha riunito una grande quantità di cristalli, per la massima parte di quarzo, trovati nella galleria del Sempione. E’ stato donato dall'ing. Brandt ai padri Rosminiani, per suo ricordo, come attesta la dedica: «Ricordo del Sempione, costruito dal capo operaio Zerbini A. regalato all'ing. Brandt, e da questi ceduto al Museo "Rosmini" ». Sopra questo lavoro, è raccolto quanto riguarda il volo disgraziato, ma eroico, dell'aviatore peruviano Geo Chavez, avvenuto il lO settembre 1910, quando per primo attraversò il Sempione; su un aereo Bleriot, monoplano, fatto di carta verniciata e legno, con un solo motorino. E’ caduto alla Siberia, fra Domo e Villa.
    • This relic was exhibited at the Science and Technology in Milan in 1956 for the fiftieth anniversary of the Simplon tunnel. Its simplicity is best to appreciate the hard work of miners at risk of silicosis. In the left window, after samples of the Simplon, there, above, a good collection of decorative stones and polished, interesting building in appropriate measures, for observation. It 's almost complete, for us Italians, but of course incomplete for an international collection. To the right on entering, is placed in a glass case, on bass, patiently work done by an artisan, miner Doormats head in his spare time, he brought together a large amount of crystals, for the most part of quartz, found in the Simplon tunnel . It 'was won by Eng. Brandt Rosminiani fathers, for his memory, as witnessed in the dedication: "I remember the Simplon, built by the foreman A. Zerbini got eng. Brandt, and those sold at the Museum "Rosmini". On this job, is collected regarding the flight unfortunate but heroic, aviation Peruvian Geo Chavez, lO occurred on September 1910, when it first crossed the Simplon; on a plane Bleriot monoplane, made of painted paper and wood, with a single motor. E 'fell to Siberia, from Domo and Villa.
    • A sinistra, due grandi vetrine contengono tutta la collezione litologica, dei minerali italiani ed esotici e sono uno dei ricordi più belli e significativi dell'attività silenziosa e continua dei Padri Rosminiani. La collezione è antica, sia per i campioni sia per il modo di esporli e conserva la primitiva classificazione e sistemazione del Dana. Ora sono stati da me sistemati e riordinati secondo lo Strunz. A ques!a collezione hanno contribuito grandi nomi della mineralogja italiana del passato: Bombicci, Mercalli, Spezia, Traverso, Pelloux, Malladra, Bazzi, e recentemente Roggiani. Questa collezione litologica venne soprattutto sviluppata dal prof. Malladra e nel 1913 dal dotto Silvio Canestrini che pubblicò: «La Raccolta mineralogica del Museo Mellerio Rosmini di Domodossola» tip. Ossolana - 1913.
    • On the left, two large windows contain the entire collection lithological, minerals and Italian exotic and one of the best memories of quiet and significant and continuous Rosminiani Fathers. The collection is old, for both samples is the way to expose and preserve the original arrangement of classification and Dana. I have now been arranged and rearranged according to the Strunz. Questions! Collection contributed to the great names of Italian mineralogja the past Bombicci, Mercalli, Spezia, Traverso, Pelloux, Malladra, Bazzi, and recently Roggiani. This collection lithological was mainly developed by prof. Malladra and in 1913 by Silvio Canestrini scholar who published "The Mineralogical Museum Collection of Mellerio Rosmini Domodossola tip. Ossola - 1913.

He was born in 1893, the son of a dentist in Basel. He just graduated from there in 1913 and received his PhD in 1922 in Geneva with Claude Louis Duparc platinum-bearing rocks of the Urals. 1926-1934 he was a member of Immanuel Friedlaender's Institute of Volcanology in Naples. There he published his first work, the international attention. Among other things he described in "Evolution and Differentiation of the Somma-Vesuvius magma" the internal structure of Vesuvius and the development of the magma, a work that was for decades the foundation of all subsequent work on the volcano.

1934 Ritter went back to Switzerland and was until 1941 worked as a lecturer at the University of Basel. During this time, 1936, he took part in the Danish-Greenland expedition led by Lauge Koch. 1941-1948 he returned there in Italy, traveling on behalf of the Italian state geological investigations in the area of Naples, Tuscany and in Albania.

From 1949, Ritter worked at the University of Alexandria, in 1954 he was appointed Professor of Mineralogy and Geology Institute of the University of Cairo. 1960-1963 he was head of the Volcanological Institute, University of Catania. Until 1968 he headed the International Institute of Volcanology in Catania, which was founded in 1960 on his initiative. [1]

Alfred Ritter was 1954-1963 President of the International Association of Volcanology and received an honorary doctorate from the University of Bern. Among other awards he received in 1965 the Gustav Steinmann Medal. He has published over 150 papers and 7 books. His work "Volcanoes and their activity," published in 1936, first edition, was one of the standard textbooks of volcanology. The second edition of 1960 translated into English, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Romanian and Chinese. The third, completely revised edition was published posthumously 1981st
