A lead and silver vein deposit in Italy's Apuane Alps region, mined most extensively in the 16th and 19th centuries of the modern era. Scholars have long accepted a history of exploitation here going back to the Etruscan period. Metallurgical analysis of artifacts from the late Villanovan settlement at Veii may indicate early iron extraction in this vicinity as well (Saviano 2006).
