Through the Industrial Heritage between Land and Sea project, the association intends to reconstruct the story of the works which emerged at the end of the XIXth century all along the south-western coast of the island, in a stretch comprised between the Buggerru and Canalgrande cliffs, the bays of Cala Domestica and Masua, the sandy areas of Fontanamare and Piscinas. Several realizations in mining engineering are still bearing testimony to the high degree of evolution attained on that territory, within which complex systems of extraction, processing and export of the ore have been created. A special reference to the theme of the project is constituted by the relationship of the railways tracks to the routes of the boats which used to transport the ore from the mining sites to the warehouses located all along the coast, and then from there unto Carloforte harbour, in San Pietro island.

‘Sella Pit for the Geo-mineral Park’ is a non profit association which intends to contribute to the development of the finalities defined by Ministerial Decree which has instituted the Geo-mineral, Historic and Environmental Park of Sardinia. Its aim is to promote any initiative tending to the enhancement of the heritage which the mining history has bequeathed to the Sardinian community and which, besides, has been declared heritage of the mankind by the UNESCO.

[it] ‘Pozzo Sella per il Parco Geominerario’ è un’associazione ONLUS che si propone di contribuire allo sviluppo delle finalità contenute nel Decreto Ministeriale istitutivo del Parco Geominerario, Storico e Ambientale della Sardegna. Il suo obiettivo è quello di promuovere tutte le iniziative volte alla valorizzazione del patrimonio che la storia mineraria ha lasciato alla comunità sarda, il cui valore internazionale è stato riconosciuto dall’UNESCO. Con il progetto ‘Patrimonio industriale tra terra e mare’, l’associazione intende ricostruire le vicende dei cantieri sorti alla fine dell’Ottocento lungo la costa sud occidentale dell’isola, in un tratto compreso tra le falesie di Buggerru e Canalgrande, le insenature di Cala Domestica e Masua, gli arenili di Fontanamare e Piscinas. Alcune opere di ingegneria mineraria restano a testimoniare il grado di evoluzione raggiunto in questo territorio, nel quale sono stati realizzati complessi sistemi di estrazione, lavorazione e spedizione del minerale. Un particolare riferimento al tema del progetto è rappresentato dalla relazione tra i tracciati ferroviari e le rotte dei battelli che trasportavano il minerale dai cantieri ai depositi lungo la costa e da questi al porto di Carloforte, nell’isola di San Pietro. ‘Pozzo Sella per il Parco Geominerario’ è un’associazione ONLUS che si propone di contribuire allo sviluppo delle finalità contenute nel Decreto Ministeriale istitutivo del Parco Geominerario, Storico e Ambientale della Sardegna.
