Deep structure from seismic tomography,mechanisms has been ongoing for many years. One of the reasons for this has been the poor knowledge of the crust and upper mantle structure, and the lack of precise information on the occurrence of intermediate and deep earthquakes beneath the Italian peninsula. In this chapter we describe the advan

Between the two, several other crustal provinces are found in
