Abstract
The Pietra di Bismantova is an intensely jointed calcarenite cliff with a typical tabular shape and an arched appendix along its northern margin. The slope movements which affect this rock cliff are deeply linked to its structural characteristics and bedrock's geomechanical properties. Mass wasting processes are further accentuated by meteoric weathering mainly due to frost shattering and water percolation as well as higher erodibility and displacement of the underlying rock types.
