The assessment of the slope failure mechanisms, along with the identification of the factors promoting the development of the landslide processes, represents the keystone for an effective design of landslide mitigation. The paper outlines some mitigation strategies for some slow-moving landslides, involving heterogeneous and tectonized soils, located in the outer sector of Southern Apennines. These mitigation designs result from a comprehensive analysis of the failure slope scenarios as resulted from field surveys and investigations, slope monitoring and laboratory testing.
