The ascent of H2O- and H2O-CO2-bearing basaltic melts from the deeper to the shallower part of the Stromboli magmatic system and their vesiculation were simulated from decompression experiments. A well-studied "golden" pumice produced during an intermediate- to a large-scale paroxysm was used as starting material. Volatile-bearing glasses were synthesized at an oxygen fugacity (f(o2)) ranging from NNO-1.4 to +0.9, 1200 degrees C and 200 MPa. The resulting crystal - and bubble-free glasses were then isothermally (1200 degrees C) decompressed to final pressures P-f ranging between 200 and 25 MPa, at a linear ascent rate of 1.5 m/s (or 39 kPa/s) prior to be rapidly quenched. Textures of post decompression glasses that were characterized by X-ray computed tomography result from different mechanisms of degassing that include bubble nucleation, growth, coalescence, and outgassing, as well as fragmentation. Homogeneous bubble nucleation occurs for supersaturation pressures (difference between saturation pressure and pressure at which bubbles start to form homogeneously, Delta P-HoN)
