Who was Francesco Sartori Francesco Sartori was born on May 20, 1874 in Legnago, in the province of Verona, and after graduating from the Milan Polytechnic in 1897, at the suggestion of his professor of mining art, he moved to Sardinia to work in the Rosas mine. After just one year he became deputy director. When he moved to Monteponi in 1898, he quickly gained the appreciation of the general inspector Erminio Ferraris and the general director Roberto Cattaneo in the management, and in 1907 he became director of the Monteponi mine. A socialist, he built an excellent relationship with the workers and managed to achieve increasing production figures even in times of union unrest. Sartori later also managed the Montevecchio mine and built a large electrolytic foundry in Porto Marghera in 1934-36. The Montevecchio mining company was the company that later had the hotel built by the sea in Sardinia. The complex used to look completely different, but today the roof has deteriorated considerably, partly due to the weather conditions and the proximity to the sea.

History of the hotel in Sardinia The retreat was inaugurated in 1956 and operated until 1983, even after the closure of the mines where the workers worked. There were tennis courts, a large public swimming pool, soccer fields and a beautiful beach. In fact, it is still a nice place for a vacation today. The Francesco Sartori Marine Colony in Funtanazza was inaugurated on May 13, 1956 and was run by the Montevecchio Mining Company for its employees and their families - especially their children. The hotel accommodated around six hundred children and one hundred employees during the summer periods from June to September. It was built of reinforced concrete in a large and impressive bay with a direct sea view. The bright interiors were designed for the temporary stay of children and there were plenty of entertainment facilities. These included two swimming pools, lounges, a separate service building, a garage, a caretaker's house, but also an isolation department for infectious diseases. The "colony" commissioned by the engineers Filippo Minghetti and Giovanni Rolandi was built at a cost of 1.587 million lire. As it is far from civilisation, in a very quiet corner of Sardinia, an eighteen-kilometre-long road was built and pine trees were planted on an area of eight hectares. As all the infrastructure was missing, an aqueduct connected to the Montevecchio aqueduct also had to be built.

The Francesco Sartori Colonia was once a holiday home built specifically for the families of the workers of the nearby Montevecchio and Ingurtosu mines, and has been gaining popularity in the Urbex scene since the early 80s as a lost place hotel in Sardinia. It is located in Funtanazza, on the Italian island of Sardinia.

A real lost place. The never-finished ruin in the middle of the huge complex has something melancholic about it. In fact, some people visit it today. However, the number of people is limited ;-) We were almost alone today, including the great beach and bay.

Funtanazza, nestled between the evocative Torre dei Corsari and Marina di Arbus, was the first and pioneering holiday resort in the wild and uncontaminated Costa Verde, in the Arbus area. From June to September, the children of the workers of the Ingurtosu and Montevecchio mines, about twenty kilometers away, spent their holidays here, in the Francesco Sartori marine colony, built by the company that managed the mining sites.

Even though this is a county road, there are often not many cars traveling along it. The view is wonderful as the road runs right next to the sea.

Gorgeous and underrated West Coast beach. The ruins of the derelict hotel.

2 hotel ruins, otherwise there is nothing here except peace and tranquility. Beautiful driveway through shady pine alley
