A stony meteorite fell in central Italy on September 25, 1996, at a site (lambda=13deg 45min 12sec E, phi=43deg 10min 52sec N) close to a field, 3-4 km north-east of the town of Fermo and a few kilometers from the Adriatic coast. The meteorite is one piece of 10.2 kg of stone and exhibits the characteristic fusion crust. The body is classified as a H3-5 chondrite breccia. Production in stony meteorites as Fermo, of cosmogenic isotopes (22Na and 44Ti) by means of galactic cosmic rays, offers a direct assessment of the solar activity at different time scales (11-year solar cycle and century-scale variations).
