Casteltermini, Agrigento, Italy
The Zolfara Cozzo Disi is a sulphur mine located in the province of
Agrigento, near the municipality of Casteltermini. The mine was
founded before 1839. It became one of the most important Italian
sulphur mines and the last to be closed in 1988. The mine was
maintained until 1993 and then it slowly transited to become a
museum. Despite the Regional Law no. 17 guidelines favouring the
mine transition into the archaeological museum, the revitalisation
process is still ongoing. The Cozzo Disi mine is identified as a crucial
Sicilian cultural heritage and part of its original landscape, along with
several manufactured goods and archives, are at disposal of a wider
audience.
