A multi-scale approach to the recent activity of the Stradella thrust in the seismotectonic context of the Emilia Arc (northwestern Italy) Open
The frontal thrusts and folds of the northern Apennines - Italy - are mainly covered under the alluvial deposits of the Po Plain. Some of these structures show geological evidence of Late Quaternary activity, thus posing the need for an ac…

Integrated structural-seismological constraints for a 3D multi-depth fault model of the Stradella and Emilia Arcs (northern Italy) Open
Investigating active tectonics and the structural style of potentially-seismogenic structures at the outer front of active orogenic belts is particularly challenging when the frontal structures are buried and slowly deforming. This is the …

Application of photogrammetric approaches to studying the 1971 dike-induced surface structures on Mt Etna, Italy Open
Mt Etna, located on the east coast of Sicily, Italy, is a basaltic stratovolcano with a volcanotectonic evolution of 500 ka, characterized by a wide horse-shoe-shaped depression on its eastern flank, called Valle del Bove. The study area i…
View article: Morphostructural and geophysical surveys of the late Pleistocene-Holocene Broni-Sarmato Fault (Emilia Arc, northern Italy)
Morphostructural and geophysical surveys of the late Pleistocene-Holocene Broni-Sarmato Fault (Emilia Arc, northern Italy) Open
We present new morphostructural and geophysical data to discuss the recent activity of the Broni-Sarmato structure, an 18 km-long outcropping section of the north-verging Stradella thrust, located 50 km south of Milan, along the pede-Apenn…
