Abstract
The main map covers the territory of the Tuscany Region, in Central Italy and shows the main stratigraphic and tectonic features of the internal part of the Northern Apennines. This is characterized by nappe superposition well exposed in the Apennine chain (in the eastern part of the map), as well the effects of post-nappe extensional tectonics, originating in Miocene-Pliocene and younger basins bordered by metamorphic core complexes, covering most of the central and southern part of the Region. The map is at 1:300,000 scale and is based on 1:10,000 field mapping.

We acknowledge all coordinators, geologists and administrative personnel who made the 2002–2007 Project of geological Mapping founded by the Tuscany Region possible. All their names are listed at the bottom right of the Geological Map. The realization of the project that led to complete an unique geological legend and new compilation of geological maps at 1:10,000 scale was possible, thanks to the work carried out at the Center for Geotechnologies of the University of Siena by: L. Giannetti, A. Ciulli, P.L. Fantozzi, M.F. Bastone, T. Bigio, F. Bonciani, F.N. Brogna, I. Callegari, M. Capitani, M.J.P. Chaves, E. Cocca, G. D'Amato Avanzi, I.N. Frau, Y. Galanti, F. Gamberi, A.
