Paola, Gianna and Gianfranco have taken the names of the owner's nieces and son. Victoria, opened during the second world war, symbolized the wish for the good result of the conflict and S.Barbara is the holy protectress of all those people working with explosive. The mines of the Section Crosetto have taken their name from that of the height where the entrance is situated, since these galleries were opened in the second half of the 20th century.
