Despite the small size of the islands, the present landscape of the Tremiti Islands and of the inner continental shelf shows an outstanding wealth of ancient and present terrestrial and marine landforms. They provide the islands with their intrinsic and distinctive value and beauty and that can be discovered walking on the islands, sailing around them or diving into the turquoise to blue sea.

Growth of topography has been driven by active tectonics (thrust-related crustal shortening and high-angle normal faulting related to crustal extension), regional rock uplift, and surface processes, starting from Late Miocene(?) - Early Pliocene. At present a high-relief landscape is dominated

Rock falls have been studied all over the world in several geographical and morphostructural settings, from huge mountain escarpments to small cliffs, with different approaches (from standard geomorphologi-cal analysis to multidisciplinary analyses including geology, alii, 2010). Rock falls in central Italy (Abruzzo Region) occur within the chain area, at the junction between the chain area and the piedmont and between piedmont hills and coastal sectors with wide coastal cliffs. This type of landslide occurs mostly in different main mor-phostructural settings, such as: faulted homoclinal ridges on marine Meso-Cenozoic carbonate rocks, calcareous rock slopes of karst landforms, structural scarps on marine Neogene arenac...

Here, complex Mesozoic-Cenozoic palaeogeographies are still reflected by the main mountain chains of Abruzzo and offer scientists and tourists imaginary journeys through ancient, now vanished, coral atolls and blue deep seas. Valleys of glacial or fluvial origin, alluvial fans, present and paleolandslides still preserve the memory of these ancient landscapes. In Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, where all of these landscapes are incorporated, the educational enhancement of geological and geomorphological themes has been pursued, with the creation and installation of information panels, theme trails and geotourist maps. In this framework, this paper illustrates methods, initiatives and activities for the enhancement of geological landscape and geomorphosites, and particularly the Geotourist map of Mount ...
