}}'''Giovanni Arduino''' (October 16, 1714 – March 21, 1795) was an [[Italy|Italian]] [[geologist]] who is known as the "Father of Italian [[Geology]]".

Arduino was born at [[Caprino Veronese]], [[Veneto]]. He was a [[mining]] specialist who developed possibly the first classification of geological time, based on study of the geology of northern [[Italy]]. In 1735, he divided the history of the Earth into four periods: Primitive, Secondary, Tertiary and Volcanic,or Quaternary.
