The Island of Capraia is the westernmost of the seven islands that constitute the Tuscan Archipelago, the third in size (about 20 km²) after Elba and Giglio, and the nearest volcanic outcrop to the Corsica lamproite. The island is also a municipality of the province of Livorno, whose official name is Capraia Isola.
The Capraia Island is formed by the coalescence of two volcanic structures: the Capraia and the Zenobito Volcanoes (Rodolico, 1938; Franzini, 1964; Barberi et al., 1986; Poli et al., 1995; Poli and Perugini, 2003; Aldighieri et al., 2004; Chelazzi et al., 2006). The Capraia Volcano is a large asymmetric composite volcano, strongly dissected by recent tectonic activity accompanied by flank collapse and sea-driven erosion. It is made up of the coalescence of several domes and volcanic centres, which produced predominant massive lava flows and ash and block flows with only subordinate pyroclastic flows. The exposed magmatic activity has been dated from 7.5 to 6.9 Ma. The Zenobito Volcano is a small monogenetic apparatus that produced a cinder cone associated with a very small plateau-like lava structure in a short time spanning at 4.6 Ma, overlapping the south-westernmost edge of the Capraia Volcano. Outcropping rocks of the older volcano are high-K calc-alkalic rocks ranging in composition from dominant andesite and dacite to rare rhyolite, straddling latite and trachyte fields. Volcanic rocks from the Zenobito Volcano are much more uniform in composition ranging from potassic trachybasalt to shoshonite, but some subalkalic samples falling within the andesite basaltic field have been also found.
Minerals can be found as constituents of the volcanic rocks or in fissures.
The clinopyroxene from Capraia Volcano has augitic composition whereas clinopyroxene from Zenobito Volcano is enriched in the diopsidic component (Chelazzi et al., 2006).
