Until the mid-19th century, Montevecchio didn't even have a name.
With the development of the mine by the Sanna-Castoldi family, a cluster of buildings serving the mining industry arose: homes for employees and managers, offices, schools, as well as recreational facilities and sports facilities, as well as a hospital.
Even today, not a single structure in the village exists that wasn't built for the mine and its workers.
Today, Montevecchio still has a few hundred inhabitants, and walking its streets, you can appreciate the urban and architectural evolution of the village, developed over 150 years of mining activity.
