“…After the stacking of the tectonic units, extensional tectonics (Carmignani et al 1994;Brogi et al 2005) and coeval magmatism (Peccerillo 2003;Dini et al 2005) affected the previously overthickened continental crust since the Early-Middle Miocene (Brunet et al 2000) and led to the exhumation of deeper tectonic units (Carmignani et al 1995), widespread geothermal anomalies (Della Vedova et al 2001) and hydrothermal circulation (Tanelli 1983). Around Monte Amiata, hydrothermal circulation was responsible for the world-class Hg and Sb deposits, extensively mined up to thirty years ago (Rimondi et al 2015), as well as to barren hydrothermal calcite veins (Gasparrini et al 2013). Hydrothermal fluid flow is still active in this area as manifested by the travertine deposition from thermal springs at Bagno Vignoni and Bagni San Filippo (Fig.…”
