Daily Life At Rosignano Solvay Coastal City

Part of the Solvay chemical plant and the colored water of the industrial canal illustrate the deep and lasting impact of the Solvay chemical plant 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)
