The aim of this paper is to provide early feedback on stand structure attributes in Italian Apenninesforests that could be considered Old Growth Forests in the Mediterranean Eco-Region. Few data arenowadays available relating to this Region. 10 forest reserves across the Apennines were selected and acensus of trees and structural parameters was conducted in permanent plots (0.16-1.0 ha), one plot foreach selected forest stand. Dimensional and structural characters indicate a large variability among theinvestigated forest stands.   The considered parameters are compared with those reported for other European countries. Oldgrowth features and characteristics of each indicator should be revised and referred to the particularclimatic and biogeographic context. The chosen forest study sites are to be considered old if related tocommon Apennine stands but, in some cases, their development stage is not so close to “truly” OldGrowth Forest. Permanent plots allow future investigations on dynamic processes leading to real OldGrowth Mediterranean Forests in Italian Apennines
