Daily Life At Rosignano Solvay Coastal City
A boy dives into the industrial canal of the Rosignano Solvay plant. The Solvay chemical plant has a deep and lasting impact on Rosignano, a coastal town in Tuscany, where industry and environment coexist in a complex balance. The town's striking white beaches result from calcium carbonate and other industrial byproducts discharged by the plant into the sea. The town's social fabric includes schools, housing, and public infrastructure that still define much of Rosignano today. (Photo by Lorenzo Carmellini/NurPhoto)
