<p>The “Livorno-Sillaro” line represents one of the most important transversal structure of the inner Northern Apennines.  It has been described in the literature as a major strike-slip fault (e.g., Bortolotti, 1966; Carmignani et al., 1994; Pascucci, 2005; Pascucci et al., 2007), and it is divided into two segments, eastern and western. </p><p>A stratigraphic-sequence frame for the late-Quaternary deposits has been developed by using the different facies associations defined through a large subsurface database analysis.

Long Time

<p>The “Livorno-Empoli” fault represents the westernmost segment of one a major transversal structure of the inner Northern Apennines the so-called “Livorno-Sillaro Line” a regional structure described in the literature, for a long time (e.g., Ghelardoni, 1967; Bortolotti, 1966; Bernini et al., 1991; Cantini et al., 2001; Pascucci et al., 2007; Rosenbaum, Agostinetti, 2015). In the frame of our ongoing studies,  in this contribution, we will focus on the short term history of this regional fault. A new stratigraphic-sequence frame for the late-Quaternary deposits has been developed by using the different facies associations as defined through a large surface database analysis. Moreover, a correlation has been done between subsoil deposits and the outcropping sediments on the hilly areas (Livorno, Pisa, and Cerbaie hills) surrounding the Arno valley.</p><p>Additionally, a morphotectonic analysis of the hydrographic networks and relief distribution has been done the Lidar data (DTM), supplied by the Tuscany Region, at the 2 m and 10 m of resolution. Specifically, the river system is particularly sensitive to deformation processes. The fluvial streams are in fact characterized by low geomorphological inertia and, therefore, by response times of a few hundred thousand years to the tectonic processes ongoing.</p><p>As a result of the integrated multidisciplinary analysis, it was possible to highlight the evidence of middle Pleistocene-Holocene tectonics of the “Livorno-Empoli Fault” until now neglected by the literature.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>References</p><p> </p><p>Ghelardoni, R.  (1967) Osservazioni sulla tettonica trasversale dell<strong>’</strong>Appennino Settentrionale.
