p.107: The Lago Maggiore Fault was originally an Early Mesozoic rift fault that separated the Early Jurassic Monte Nudo Basin in the east from the Gozzano High in the west. The Lago Maggiore Fault extends largely below the lake, but in the south, it runs onshore between the Permian volcanics of the Ivrea-Ceneri Complex, overlain by Middle Triassic dolomites, and the Cretaceous – Cenozoic sediments of the Varesotto Imbricates. To the north, the Lago Maggiore Fault probably follows the lake towards the northeast, possibly reflecting the original listric geometry of the Mesozoic precursor fault.
