I don't understand why in the first chapter of this book, the page number is made of roman numerals, like in preface pages

\documentclass[italian,a4paper,11pt,twoside]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{forest}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{1}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{indentfirst}



\geometry{textheight=24.2cm,textwidth=16cm}
\pagestyle{headings}
\frenchspacing

\title{
\huge Guida semplificata a Herbertlandia} 
\author{Salvo Errori}

\makeindex

\begin{document}
\frontmatter

\maketitle
\tableofcontents

\chapter{Introduzione}

Il gatto è sul tavolo. Il gatto mangia il cibo. Il gatto è sul tavolo. Il gatto mangia il cibo. Il gatto è sul tavolo. Il gatto mangia il cibo.


\end{document}

The preamble has been written having in mind the example GAPIL book

    The \frontmatter macro switches to roman numerals. The \mainmatter macro, if used, switches to arabic numerals (and restarts numbering at 1). Thus, insert the instruction \mainmatter before the first \chapter instruction. – Mico Nov 18 '14 at 07:30
  • @Mico thank you. You should fill an answer so I can assign you the correct answer. – Germano Massullo Nov 18 '14 at 08:06
  • Thanks. I hesitated to write this down as an answer because I suspected this question had come up before. I think Andrew Swann has identified such a posting in the meantime. – Mico Nov 18 '14 at 08:57
