The Gran Paradiso Massif is one of the Internal Crystalline Massifs (Penninic Zone) in the Alps. This Massif comprises the widely investigated Gran Paradiso Unit and the underlying, much less-explored Money Unit, which is a well-exposed tectonic window below the Gran Paradiso Unit. This contribution provides a new detailed petro-structural map of the Money Unit. An integrated structural and metamorphic study can relate different structures to the evolving metamorphic stages. There is also recognition of evidence of Permo-Carboniferous sedimentation, contact metamorphism and polyphase Alpine evolution, mainly developed under blueschist to greenschist facies conditions.The 1:5000 scale map (and the cross sections) display evidence for the Alpine evolution of the Money Unit and for the structural and geological setting of this area. From these data, a 3D model of the Money Unit and its folded contact with the Gran Paradiso Units is constructed
