HISTORY<\/h2>\n

The mining activity in the area of \u200b\u200bMonastero di Vasco and Moncervetto is very old, in fact, dating back to 1300.
\nHowever, it was from the end of the 18th century that the Moncervetto quarries, after a few centuries of neglect, began to be systematically and continuously cultivated.<\/p>\n
