It 'been heavily exploited with many tens of Mines Company
French Pertusola.
The area you see is limestone and has tunnels up to 600 deep.
I km. tunnel are perhaps thousands.
After the divestitures have arisen many parks of industrial architecture --
mining.
The underground galleries are flooded, those above the sea level
be followed with trains and the appropriate level of Masua, Buggerru (when
for the first time in Italy there was a strike and the first casualties
, Hit by rifle shots)
Internet is full of sites.
Valuable are those of crystals (with a large component of
calcite) searches, especially at the time by foreign collectors.
Digging it would be found niches as large chapels, with
crystals priceless
