Annual glaciological survey of Italian glaciers is here summarized. More than 200 volunteers operated in the three Alpine sectors (Piemonte - Val d’Aosta, Lombardia and Tre Venezie) and in the Apennines (Calderone Glacier, Gran Sasso Group). Data on the frontal variations measured during the 2018 glaciological survey are reported: 111 glaciers were visited in the Piemonte - Val d’Aosta Sector (60 were measured), 23 in the Lombardy Sector (19 measured), 61 in the Tre Venezie Sector (50 measured) and 1 in the Apennines. Section on mass balance measurements provides data for 20 Italian glaciers monitored during the 2017-2018 hydrological year
