Emiliano Mutti
Italian geologist
Emiliano Mutti (born 1933, Gozzano) is a geologist and sedimentologist who has made significant contributions to petroleum geosciences, especially to sedimentary dynamics of turbidites and their reservoir characterisation. He was a professor at University of Parma for 25 years (1982—2007) and served as the chair for the geology department. He previously worked at the University of Milan (1960—1965), University of Turin (1969—1979), and University of Ferrara (1979—1981), as well as for companies including Esso (1965—1969) and YPF (1980s).
Biography
Mutti was born in 1933 in Gozzano near Lake Orta, where his parents, Ido and Natalina, had settled temporarily for work. His father was the first person to graduate in industrial chemistry in Italy. Mutti also has a sister, Alba. After his birth, the family moved to Milan, where they remained for Mutti's primary and secondary education. After Milan was bombed in 1942, they moved to the small town Nociveglia, Bedonia, where their ancestors had lived since at least the 19th century. In the Northern Apennines, Mutti was surrounded by rocks and trees, sparking his love for the outdoors. He later returned to the valley to study the turbidites and deep-water depositional systems.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
