"The Marcellina Gold Mine was strongly desired by the architect and photographer Romolo Belvedere and created by the Venezuelan artist Luis Gomez de Teran, known for his socially conscious works and who worked on the Marcellina Gold Mine using as the basis for the photographic reportage "The Faces of Stone", created by Belvedere himself in the mid-80s of the last century. The work is a permanent installation and has a dual value: it enhances a decidedly ugly and impactful industrial archeology site (occupies a large part of the mountain ridge) and becomes witness to a collective effort made of work and sacrifices, in which men and women, farmers, miners and shepherds were silent witnesses of an era now over, in which women like Teodora Fornari they were miners, mothers, wives and spent their whole lives in difficult working conditions (bussoladiario.com/2021/02/la-miniera-doro-di-marcellina.html)
