Abstract
The National Park falls within three administrative regions (Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise) and covers an area of 104,000 ha, including the external buffer area. It is a mountainous area in the central part of the Apennines. The highest peaks are Monte Greco (2,285 m), Monte Petroso (2,249 m), Monte Marsicano (2,245 m) and Monte Meta (2,242 m). The geology of the Park is very diversified and consists exclusively of units of the carbonate Lazio-Abruzzo platform and marginally of post-orogenic complex.
