p.105: The Alpine-tectonic Ivrea-Ceneri Complex includes the lower crustal rocks of the Ivrea Zone and the WNW part of the middle – upper crustal Strona-Ceneri Zone. In the northwest, the Ivrea-Ceneri Complex is separated from the Canavese Zone by the Internal Canavese Fault, east of Locarno from the Central Alps by the Tonale Fault. In the east and southeast, the transition to the Upper Orobic Nappe is not clearly defined. The boundary can be traced along the Tamaro Thrust (Bächlin 1937) and the Lago Maggiore Fault. In the south, west of Lago Maggiore, the Ivrea-Ceneri Complex with its Mesozoic cover is overlain by the post-orogenic deposits of the Po Plain.

The Ivrea Zone is an ante-alpine, thick-skinned tectonic unit of the western South Alpine domain, made up of high-grade polymetamorphic gneisses ("kinzigite"), a mafic to ultramafic complex, as well as subordinated pegmatites and marbles.
