The memory of the iron has been increased in the history of Rai
On this first Monday of August, RAI history guides us to discover the iron mines on the island of Elba and in the Parks of the Val di Cornia in Tuscany. It is thanks to this material that the Etruscan people managed to enrich and expand. The iron extraction has never stopped until the end of the 1970s and left tracks, landscapes and panoramas that today form the wealth of the park. “La Memoria del Ferro” By Alessandro Varchetta Directed by Eva Frerè, Broadcast Today, Monday 4 August at 9.10 pm on Rai History for “Italy.

But the extraction of Ferro material does not stop. Between the 11th and 11th centuries, the Rocca di Silvestro, an extremely preserved medieval village, was born near Campiglia Marittima, a single site for its monumentality.

Almost all mines close by the late 1970s. At Elba the last stops in 1981. For a whole community this is the end of an era.
