This work describes for the first time outcrops of metamorphosed limestones (Cipoline and Brecciated marbles) found at Mondragone, Caserta Province, Campania. These rocks are formed by blocks and olistoliths, up to size of several thousand cubic
meters, occurring in two Tertiary terrigenous formations overthrusting the Latium-Abruzzi-Campania carbonate platform. Hypothesis of correlation of these marbles within the Apennine and Alpine chains, their origin and geodynamic meaning are here shortly
Late Quaternary buried lagoons in the northern Campania plain (southern Italy) : evolution of a coastal system under the influence of volcano-tectonics and eustatism
The Campania Plain is a wide coastal plain characterized by a huge quaternary sedimentary record more than two thousand meters thick. In order to analyze the most superficial portion of the infilling succession an 80 m-long core was drilled
in the northern sector of the plain. Two major periods of volcanic activity were recorded in the core prior to Campania Ignimbrite emplacement, confirming the existence of important phases of volcanic activity in the plain during the end of the Middle Pleistocene
. The SME multiproxy record represents the first continuous record of volcanic products emplaced in the last 200 ka north of the Campania volcanic sources. - (NF)
Extensional tectonics in the Campania Volcanic Zone (eastern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) : new insights into the relationship between faulting and ignimbrite eruptions
The Campania Volcanic Zone (CVZ), located on the eastern margin of the Tyrrhenian Sea, is a region characterized by active tectonics and large ignimbrite eruptions starting from 290 ka. A reconstruction of the three-dimensional architecture
of the ignimbrite deposits and faults of the CVZ (Campania Plain and Bay of Naples) was made by means of the interpretation of an integrated geological geophysical database. - (NF)

Two administrative units for the mountain development, both struck by earthquake in 1980 in inner Campania, are compared in the attempt to point out their structures and features.
