Daily Life At Rosignano Solvay Coastal City

A sign reads ''no swimming or stopping allowed'' as people walk past and some children play in the water just outside the drainage canal pumping industrial effluent from the Solvay soda ash plant onto the white beach in Rosignano Solvay, Italy, on July 21, 2025. 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, whose color results from calcium carbonate and other industrial byproducts discharged by the plant into the sea, and the town's social fabric, including schools, housing, and public infrastructure, still define much of Rosignano today.
