The tragedy of the Marcinelle mine.

In this tragic accident 262 people lost their lives.
Among them were 136 Italians. As many as 62 were from Abruzzo, mostly from towns in the Maiella area: Manoppello, Lettomanoppello, Turrivalignani, Farindola.
Since 1990, the Bois du Cazier mine has been a historical monument, a place of remembrance where every year the National Day of the Sacrifice of Italian Labor in the World is celebrated.
