Fluid inclusion studies together with volcanological and petrochemical data allow reconstruction of the magma feeding system of basaltic-andesitic to andesitic activity during the oldest and intermediate stages of development of Lipari Island (223-81 ka). A major magma storage zone is active during the overall investigated time span at depths of 22 km, close to the crust-mantle Moho transition, at which mantle-derived mafic magmas tend to accumulate due to neutral buoyancy conditions. Beneath central-type volcanoes (M. Mazzacaruso, M. S. Angelo, M. Chirica-Costa d'Agosto), a shallower magma reservoir is located within the upper crust at 5.5-3.5 km, associated with a major lithological discontinuity. For fissural-type volcanoes (Timpone Ospedale, Monterosa, M. Chirica), tectonic structures are suggested to influence further magma ascent and storage at mid-crustal depths (similar to 14 km), with no ponding at shallower levels. Partial crustal melting processes at the roofs of the deep magma reservoirs (similar to 17 km) are invoked to explain the origin of cordierite-bearing lavas beneath M. S. Angelo and M. Chirica-Costa d'Agosto volcanoes, which were active during the intermediate stages of development of Lipari (105-81 ka). The generation of felsic anatectic melts in the lower crust could have created density and rheologic barriers to impede the passage of mafic melts and promote their ponding, with influence on the subsequent evolution of Lipari volcano.
