In 1954, a mine exploded killing forty-three workers. The incident was reported by Luciano Bianciardi and Carlo Cassola in the essay ''I minatori della Maremma'' (The miners of Maremma), and has been a source of inspiration for Bianciardi's novel ''La vita agra'' and for the film of the same name directed by Carlo Lizzani.
