Abstract
The objective of this chapter is to review key evidence and genetic hypotheses pertaining to the Neogene—Quaternary basins of the internal (western) side of the Apennines and Calabrian arc (Fig. 22.1). The basins of the Northern Apennines will be treated first and they will be compared and contrasted with those of the Southern Apennines and Calabrian arc. Sediment terms such as clay, sand and gravel are generally used rather then rock terms, because most materials are uncemented or only slightly cemented.
