The Planu Sartu mining village: restoration and conservation

In a moment of great attention to the revival of the historic Sardinian mining compendium in the Sulcis-Iglesiente area, it seems important to involve the complexities of industrial archaeology in a restoration, protection and appreciation process that contributes to the integrated development of the area. The adoption of a modern concept of restoration, focused on preservation and the return of cultural identity and values, made it possible to carry out an accurate and positive integration between the technology of the materials, the building techniques, the cultural values and the prospective reuse and valorisation of the historical mining heritage site.
