Starting from Funtana Coperta, which in the mid-19th century housed the first semi-mechanical ore processing plant in the Iglesiente area, built by engineer Giulio Keller and entrepreneur Angelo Nobilioni, you can immediately observe from above the fascinating  coexistence of old and modern roads, the San Giorgio stream with an ancient bridge, and two railways: the private railway of the Monteponi mining company (which, with a level crossing with a still standing guardhouse, crosses the Pellegrini tunnel and reaches the nearby Pozzo Baccarini mine shaft, easily reached from Trail 315) and the public FMS railway, which you will follow in a south-westerly direction, crossing first a beautiful four-arched bridge and then a railway tunnel (both built between 1923 and 1926). The density of infrastructure present in this area will give you a good idea of the intense activity that animated these places in 100 years of mining epic between 1850 and 1950.
