A team including researchers and technicians from INFN, INGV and ERI were responsible for an experimental muography project at the highly active volcano island, Stromboli: constructing the detector, performing the installation, developing the emulsions, analyzing the data and writing the article. Dr. Valeri Tioukov (INFN), pictured at the far right, took part in and coordinated this activity. In this interview, he discusses this process as well as the proceeding analysis of the data with the Emulsion Scanning System that was done concurrently in Napoli, Salerno and Tokyo labs.
