06 – Cinema e scuola elementare

Costruito nel 1937 l’ edificio, inaugurato da Benito Mussolini, include due edifici separati: il corpo a sinistra ospitava le scuole elementari e, dal 1963, anche quelle medie. Era composto da sei aule modernamente attrezzate e venne progettato e costruito per essere utilizzato come scuola e, nel periodo estivo, come colonia montana per i figli dei minatori.
La parte destra, più bassa, era il circolo operai, conosciuto come “Dopolavoro” e includeva bar, biblioteca, sala lettura, sala da ballo e sala giochi.
Attigua al Dopolavoro, una sala cinematografica da 500 posti, funzionava sei giorni alla settimana con tre film diversi.
Attualmente l’ edificio ospita un’ associazione (circolo privato) e, dal 1997, la sede del Centro di Educazione all’Ambiente e alla Sostenibilità.

Cinema and Primary School

The Cinema and the Primary School were located in two separate but adjacent buildings which were inaugurated by Benito Mussolini in 1937. The left-hand side building hosted the primary school and, since 1963, also the secondary school. It was endowed with six rooms and modern teaching equipments. In summer time the same building was also used as a mountain camp for the miners’ children. The right-hand side building hosted a recreational club for the miners and included a bar, a library, a reading room, a ballroom and a games room. Next to the recreational club there was a cinema wich had seating for 500 people. It was opened six days per week and screened 3 different films.
Currently the building houses an Association (private club) and, since 1997, the headquarters of the Centre for Education on Environment and Sustainability.
