Abstract
Debris flows play an important role among natural hazards in mountainous areas of Italy. This paper provides an overview on the recent research on debris flows conducted in Italy, taking into account both hydraulic and geomorphological studies. Moreover, the most encouraging research perspectives in this field are briefly presented, such as the monitoring of debris flow in instrumented basins and the geotechnical analysis of the processes leading to debris flow initiation. Finally, two study cases are reported, with the aim of outlining the main characteristics of these phenomena and consequent risk conditions in representative sites in the Italian mountains.
