background
In the hinterland, zinc and lead deposits were exploited in numerous mines from around 1860 until the middle of the last century. Because of this, the region was more of interest to the mining industry than tourism and remained out of the focus of tourists for a long time after the decline of the mining industry in Italy. A largely untouched nature has been preserved or preserved in the region. it was able to regain its place around the decaying shafts and mining facilities and the tourism industry has not (yet) been able to spoil the region sustainably.
Due to the transport and accommodation infrastructure, which is not very well adapted to mass tourism, and the promotion of gentle tourism in the largely protected region, it was able to maintain a special flair. In addition to beautiful beaches, decaying mine shafts and conveyor systems are destinations for people who are interested in tranquility and industrial archeology.
