Resartico Mine
On the northern slopes of Mt. Plauris massif, the geological features of the territory have represented for over a century a reference point for the activities of the whole community: as a matter of fact, Rio Resartico mines have been for a long time the main sources of income for the inhabitants of Resiutta.
From the end of the 19th century until the early 1950s, from the bituminous veins intercalated with dolomitic rocks of Resartico Mine, a brown, light, and easily inflammable mineral was extracted. This mineral was brought to Resiutta to be distilled in a premise which is still visible on the left of the stream Resia, to extract some heavy mineral oils, using as fuel the gases released during the distillation.
