MINING group of six miners posing in the old lignite mine in Luni; called the Lunara (La Spezia) from which was extracted from the times of the Etruscans. Lignite is a fuel similar to coal but less valuable; entered into disuse after World War II (1945-50). Workers occupied the mine to prevent the closure; which occurred then instead resulting in dismissal of the miners.
