Abstract
We compare recent observations of internal waves and currents generated by tidal mixing inside the strait of Messina, with classical measurements made in 1922–1923 by Francesco Vercelli. A peculiar front South of Capo Vaticano in southern Tyrrhenian Sea is described. Its relation with the turbulence due to the breaking of internal nonlinear waves generated by the inside the Strait of Messina is discussed. We recall that this last phenomenon is novel as far as the Mediterranean Sea is concerned.
