Chemical and geo-mineral analyses of the former 'S. Colomba' and 'Le Grave' mining areas

Monte Calisio (located to the east of the city of Trento) was one of the most important galena mines in medieval Europe and later, from the late 1800s until the mid-1900s, a good baryte mining area (many publications mention this).

Description and content

At that time it provided an important reference for the local economy and currently
various interventions are carried out to study and valorise the disused mining heritage (see Ecomuseo
of the Argentario).
Such interventions to 'reuse' the territory require a secure historical basis associated above all with
the acquisition of data, also in terms of chemical and geo-mineral analyses that, with current technologies
current technologies, allow for more detailed observations and considerations for understanding the
historical events.
