In the last 15 years, several Eni-Agip multidisciplinary studies were focused on the buried Messinian-Pleistocene succession of the eastern Po Plain and northern Adriatic Sea. A detailed revision of the biostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, sedimentology, seismic interpretation and sequence stratigraphy was performed using the very large Eni subsurface dataset including regional 2D and 3D seismic surveys and over 500 deep wells. The new basin-scale geological model of the area is presented in this paper. During the Messinian and the Plio-Pleistocene the eastern sector of the Po Plain and the northern Adriatic Sea were part of the northern Apennine foreland basin. In this time span, the tectono-sedimentary evolution of
