This ancient oil field still has various objects that tell its story. The internal museum seems closed, I recommend an online search to find official information on the matter!

In the past, it was one of the most important oil fields in Italy. Unfortunately, not much remains of it today, but it's always nice to visit and learn a little about its history.
