The Marostica Hills are a group of hills of volcanic origin located at the southern foot of the Asiago Plateau.
From a geological point of view, the area of the Marostica Hills is delimited westward by the Schio-Vicenza line, and eastward by the Brenta River. Volcanism mainly developed during the Oligocene, with few, uncertainly dated episodes during the Palaeocene (Laverda River) and Miocene (Sarcedo). Effusive activity predominated over the explosive types, becoming subaerial after the Middle Oligocene and being related to various necks (Monte Gloso, Contrà di Pascolara). Transitional and tholeiitic basalts are more abundant with respect to basanites and alkali basalts. Lavas predominate over rocks of explosive type and can be related to a number of volcanic necks.
