Died	October 22, 1866 Catania
Nationality	Italian
Scientific career
Fields	Naturalist, Volcanologist, Geologist

Carlo Gemmellaro was an Italian naturalist and geologist.

His son Gaetano Giorgio Gemmellaro was a noted geologist, paleontologist and politician.

Works

As volcanologist he studied Etna in Sicily; his studies are summarized in the monograph Vulcanologia dell'Etna 1859-1860 which is certainly the most mature product of the Gemmellaro research, synthesis of observations carried for decades and successful attempt of a modern volcanic theory. His last work, Un addio al maggior vulcano d'Europa ("A farewell to the greatest volcano in Europe") as well as a brief autobiography, is also an emotional farewell to the main object of his scientific studies.^[1]
