- Field mapping and structural analysis of the Apennines upper crust fold-and-thrust belt structures
- Field mapping and structural analysis of extensional provinces, focusing attention on the Apennines low-angle extensional faults
- Interpretation of the Apennines crust and lithosphere structure through analysis of seismic lines and balancing of geologic sections
- Elaboration of new criteria for a 3-D seismotectonic zoning finalised to seismic hazard studies in peninsular Italy and Sicily
- Tectonic setting and mantle structure in ultra-alkaline magmatic provinces
- Application of plume models to the evolution of the Mediterranean rift basin and of the associated peripheral thrust belt systems.
