    The paper is mainly devoted to the proof of a geometric formula for the real part of the Weil-Petersson product of two quadratic differentials on a compact Riemann surface with possibly some punctures. The ideas follow those of \textit{S. Wolpert} [''On the symplectic geometry of deformations of a hyperbolic surface''. Ann. Math. (2) 117, 207-234 (1983; Zbl 0518.30040)]
