      Recycling of Earth's crustal components through subduction contributes to the observed geochemical heterogeneity in worldwide lavas, yet quantifying the in- and output fluxes is difficult because of the unknown compositions of subducted components and sediment transfer processes in subduction zones. Italian post-collisional magmatism is often mafic but potassiumrich, suggesting a significant contribution of subducted sediments in this complex geodynamic setting. Isotopic and elemental variability in the volcanic products across Italy likely reflects sediment recycling with variable composition and quantity from north to south. Here we report the geochemical compositions of sediments that accreted to the Apennine accretionary prism whose lateral counterparts have potentially subducted and contributed to the Italian melt source. The aim is to use the major-, trace- and Sr- Nd-Pb isotope compositions of the sediments and Italy's volcanic products to quantify subduction recycling through melt modelling. Sediments were collected from the northern-, central- and southern Apennines (Liguria, Emilia-Romagna, Umbria and Calabria) with a focus on exhumed units from below the various decollement levels. These included Triassic to Jurassic deep sea sediments in ophiolitic sequences deposited in the Ligurian- Piemonte Oceanic Basin, and Triassic to Neogene distal units of the Adria continental margin. End-member compositions are defined by deep sea clays and metapelites rich in K2O, SiO2, LILE, HFSE, REE with high 87Sr/86Sr (0.7458) and 206Pb/204Pb (19.4), and marls poor in K2O, SiO2, LILE, HFSE, REE, but rich in CaO and Sr, with low 87Sr/86Sr (0.7083) and 206Pb/204Pb (18.7). The geochemical compositions of the most primitive volcanics and olivine-hosted melt inclusions will be used to reconstruct subduction recycling processes by melt modelling of a sediment metasomatized mantle wedge.
