Also Seravezza adheres to the National Mining Day and supports initiatives aimed at rediscovering and enhancing Versilia's geominerary sites. Within the program shared with the Municipalities of Stazzema and Pietrasanta, Sunday morning Palazzo Mediceo will be the significant starting point for an interesting guided tour to the Canal of the Root, the Mill .

The meeting at Seravezza will be the starting point for tracing a historical-geographical picture of mining activity in Versilia Fiorentina in the Medici era.

One of the main reasons that pushed Cosimo I de 'Medici to build the Seravezza villa, in fact, was precisely the need to precisely and steadily supervise the activities of the many silver mines - even more than the marble quarries - that at that time They were active in the area. And if in the Renaissance Seravezza was at the center of a flourishing mining industry, today it is potentially at the center of a tourist-cultural circuit that retrieves and valorises the mining sites, opifici, places, and paths of that ancient reality. >

After the day of study "The mining geosits of Upper Versilia: past, present and future" last year at the Scuderie Granducali and the initiatives of the next few days linked to the National Mining Day, the spotlights come back again Point to a topic of special interest, and not just for scholars.
