Abstract
We conclude that the evidence supporting the geodynamic model proposed by Vignaroli et al. [Vignaroli, G., Faccenna, C., Jolivet, L., Piromallo, C., Rossetti, F., 2008. Subduction polarity reversal at the junction between the Western Alps and the Northern Apennines, Italy. Tectonophysics 450, 34-50] is poorly convincing and not supported by the field and petrologic observations: both the re-interpretation of the surface geology and the resulting crustal reconstruction have several major flaws.
