It is commonly believed that the Po Plain is an area of low seismic haz-ard. This conclusion
is essentially a combination of two factors:(1) the historical record of earthquakes, which …

We examine the tectonic geomorphology of La Sila, Calabria, southern Italy, a high-standing
(1500 m) plateau surrounded by crustal extension, with map, DEM, and field data. These …

In this paper we show that the processes that have shaped the Quaternary surface
development of the Apennines in central Italy are all consequences of a single subcrustal …

Published and new data exist for relative sea-level change for 105 locations (127 samples)
during the late Holocene, along the Italian (and Istrian) coasts. These data, compared with …

During the Late Miocene–Pleistocene interval, a complex system of elongate foredeeps, the
Po Plain-Adriatic Foredeep (PPAF), developed in the eastern sector of the Po Plain and in …

We defined a seismogenic model for central Italy based on three layers of sources and
computed the relative seismic-hazard maps. One layer is constituted by individual structures …

This study analyses the role played by the mechanical proprieties of the rocks involved in a
thrust system, focusing on the problem of multiple décollements and of related …

Abstract The Bradanic Trough (southern Italy) is the Pliocene-present-day south Apennines
foredeep. It is a foreland basin as subsidence due to westward subduction of the Adria Plate …

The Quaternary geodynamic evolution and the tectonic processes active along the Central
and Northern Apennines thrust fronts and in the adjacent Padane-Adriatic foredeep domains …

The excellent preservation, together with a large number of exposures of Quaternary terrace-
alluvium and related deposits, made since a long time the northern Marche (central …
