ROSSO MONTEPONI

“Messo in sicurezza”. An Italian way of saying for “No money for preservation”. A reportage to document Monteponi mines before they will eventually turn back to dust.

(L. Borghi)

Rosso. Terra e mattoni. E ruggine. Rosso e’ il colore dominante nel sito minerario di Monteponi, comune di Iglesias (Cagliari). Fondato nel 1850 come villaggio di minatori, per estrazioni piombo-argentifere e di Zinco, MOnteponi raggiunge il suo apice di attivita’ negli anni ’50.
