Physical properties and structure of the lithosphere are the first step to constrain the evolution of mountain belts. Here we show detailed shear wave velocity profiles of the lithosphere in the Apennines that clarify a controversial aspect of continental subduction: the intricate mechanism of crust delamination from the downgoing plate. From the analysis of complete and dense teleseismic Receiver Function data set, we
