Description :
This paper presents a preliminary subdivision of the entire Italian territory into formal topographic units and describes the rationale and the largely DEM-based techniques by which it was prepared. The classification is semi-quantitative, derived from an unsupervised three-class cluster analysis of four derivatives of elevation and from the visual inspection of both geological maps and digitals maps of morphometric parameters.
