contents The Bay of Porto Paone: the first "tiny underwater nature reserve" in the Gulf of Naples (1960-1966). Passariello, Alessandra History, 20th Century Bays Ecology Zoology Conservation of Natural Resources Marine Biology From 1960 to 1966, the Bay of Porto Paone, a volcanic crater located on the islet of Nisida, was home to the first "tiny underwater nature reserve" of the Gulf of Naples. The concession of the stretch of water was requested by the Stazione Zoologica di Napoli (in 1982 renamed Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn), a marine biological institution traditionally devoted to laboratory studies of fundamental biological phenomena, which at the time aimed at strengthening its international visibility as a place for field ecological research. The first part of the paper contextualizes this local event in the broader international trend towards the development of ecological sciences and the rising call for field sites as essential infrastructures for ecological research. The second part reconstructs the legal, administrative and scientific practices that made it possible the establishment of an "underwater reserve" in the Bay of Porto Paone and describes the main research projects carried out there. The last part of the paper goes one step beyond historiography and addresses issues related to the importance of historical narratives on past place-based research projects for contemporary studies in historical ecology.
