TL;DR: The HISTALP database as mentioned in this paper consists of monthly homogenised records of temperature, pressure, precipitation, sunshine and cloudiness for the "Greater Alpine Region" (GAR, 4-19°E, 43-49°N, 0-3500m asl).

TL;DR: In this article, the Italian monthly temperature (mean, maximum and minimum) and precipitation data set was updated and completely revised and the series were subjected to a detailed quality control and homogenisation procedure, where the bias affecting original data is quantified by studying the temporal evolution of the mean adjustments applied to the series and examined in the light of the stations history.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated temperature variability in the Alps and their surroundings based on 97 instrumental series of monthly mean temperatures and performed trend analysis based on progressive forward and backward Mann-Kendall statistics and on progressive analysis of linear regression coefficients.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new daily precipitation dataset, for the period 1920-1998, comprising seven stations located in the northeastern Italy, is presented, and a study aimed at investigating precipitation intensity and extreme events has been performed.

TL;DR: A broad-based research program with the aim of better understanding the evolution of Italian climate in the last 100/150 years was developed both within European (UE IMPROVE and ALPCLIM projects) and National projects (Reconstruction of the Past Climate in the Mediterranean area) as discussed by the authors.
