Something about Us - My name is Sandro Arcais. I am from Oristano, a little town in Sardinia. I am a teacher of Italian literature and history in a secondary school. - My name is Massimo Scanu, i am a Geo-engineer: we are the administrators of www.minesofsardinia.com.
The constitution of the Geologic and Mining Park of Sardinia, ensures that the experience, acquaintances, techniques, practices, places, spaces,environments, buildings - in short, all that the mine has represented for a substantial part of Sardinia - does not get lost. New opportunities arise, provided that the creativity, acquaintances and competences necessary are present in order to transform the last passive participation in the mine's experience, in active and direct management of a heritage that has no equal in Italy.
This web site aims to acquaint people with the heritage and history of Sardinia. In particular, we set owerselfs the following goals:
- to let people discover the mining history of Sardinia, the most famous mines as well as those less known;
- to collect information about the mines and their history;
- to entice the visitors to www.minesofsardinia.com to come visit, not only virtually but in reality. They will experience a lesser-known Sardinia which is far from the mass tourist routes, while receiving help in organizing their holidays;
- to collect impressions, images and appraisals on the mines you visited;
- to be a virtual place of encounter between people who share the same cultural interests.
This web site is continuously evolving. It will grow with time, sometimes more quickly, sometimes less. In some way it will grow with you. Enjoy your visit.
