Landslides both affect urban area and facilities related to hydrocarbon exploitation, such as pipelines oil wells connected with centre located just outside eastern border study area. Based on a detailed field survey, supported stereoscopic analysis, landslide inventory map has been realized, also reports associated processes landforms. relationships between different types landslides various predisposing factors like outcropping lithologies, slopes steepness, slope exposition land use have investigated. acquired data relate geologically complex Apennines subject recent uplift represent fundamental contribution useful for correct management territory.
