Sardinia was known for its mineral sources since 200 years BC, raising to industrial levels during mid 19th century since to the last century. The several mine sites in the Mountain area in South-West Sardinia have been converted in mining archaeology preserving this important cultural, architectural and industrial heritage from deterioration and lost, at about 10 km uphill from Guspini extends the mining area of Montevecchio, testimony of the important mining activity carried out from 1848 until 1991. Once in the village of Gennas, better known as Montevecchio and surrounded by wood, you find yourself in front of the numerous service buildings (from schools to the hospital), among which stands the Management building. The building, completed in May 1878, housed the general manager's family lodgings and has undergone several conservative restoration.
The small palace, richly furnished, is a magnificent instance of upper-class mansion of 1800 and is rich in Art-Nouveau frescoes. Particularly interesting are the decorations of the Blue Hall, a wide room with pavilion vault, entirely frescoed with floral motifs, feminine figures and birds.
