Sažetak
This work details the results of the structural investigations performed on the Montirone travertine mound located in the Euganean Geothermal Field (Veneto region ; NE Italy). The travertine deposition is related to the natural outflow of thermal waters in the recent past. The mound is deformed by two fracture sets (WNW-ESE and NNE-SSW). They were interpreted as a fault/fracture mesh developing within the dilational stepover between strike-slip or transtensional fault segments of the regional Schio-Vicenza fault system. The presence of the Montirone travertine deposit strongly supports the existence of 1) a releasing structure in the subsurface which controls the development of the EGF, and 2) ongoing activity of the Schio-Vicenza fault, which places an urgent question about the seismic hazard of the area.
