A former storage site for "marogna" (inert waste produced by the combustion of coal in the Breda blast furnaces), the Montagnetta was later abandoned and transformed over time into a veritable open-air landfill.
The project to transform the landfill into a green slope filled with plants was achieved by shaping approximately 50,000 cubic meters of fertile soil and planting trees and shrubs.
