The Central Mediterranean is a very interesting place to test the use of VLBI data for geodynamics interpretation. It is a very tectonically active area which means that the movements of the different blocks are quite fast. There are three stations distributed over this area and located on the different blocks involved. And finally the geodynamic setting is now quite well known even if there are still some controverses. In this paper we compare the results of our plate tectonics model with the velocities obtained by VLBI method and we will discuss the geodynamic meaning of the relative motion vectors. The plate tectonic model show that the rollback of the Apenninic subduction hinge slowed down during the evolution the orogen with drastic change when the Southern Apennines front collided with the Puglia swell. The Adriatic plate has to be divided in two sub-plates separated by the Tremiti line. The results obtained by VLBI method are in good agreement with the velocities derived from the geodynamics model.
