Monumento a Quintino Sella

Monument to Quintino Sella is an important sculptural work located in Iglesias, in Piazza Quintino Sella. Built in 1885 by sculptor Giuseppe Sartorio, the monument celebrates the figure of the Italian statist and scientist, deeply linked to the development of the mining industry in Sulcis Iglesiente. The work is distinguished by the articulated composition, which includes a marble bust flanked by a young miner and bronze details on a rocky base, elements that recall the world of work and the mining history of the territory.
