p.103: The southernmost and lowest thrust system is called the Milan Belt; its basement ramps are hidden below the Po Plain like most of the deformed sedimentary cover (Fantoni et al. 1999). The Milan Belt consists of thrust imbricates, locally inverting Mesozoic high-angle faults, developed as a frontal accretion of the western South Alpine domain during the Miocene. East of Lago di Garda, units equivalent to the Milan Belt crop out extensively along the External Giudicarie Zone.
