"In this area there are the largest kaolin deposits in continental Italy, particularly suitable for industrial exploitation due to their excellent quality. They represent areas of alteration of heterogeneous rocks, belonging to Quaternary lavas of the Sabatini, Vicani and Vulsini volcanic complexes. In the area there are several now closed mining quarries, including one for kaolin and one for travertine. For several decades there has been a production plant, among the main companies that managed the extraction are La Società Nazionale Kaolino, Ginori, Pozzi. Currently management is in the hands of the Gruppo Minerali Industriali of Novara. Ceramics, in particular tiles and plates, are produced in the kaolin factory. Kaolin mining was an activity that affected both men and women. All this was done with limited mechanical means (shovels, pickaxes and explosives). The kaolin was extracted from the quarry (Loc. "La Scaglia"), from the Monte Sughereto deposit (Loc. "Sasso"), which began as a mine and became a quarry, transported by cableways to the processing and refining plant of Santa Severa Nord and from here sent to the porcelain and ceramic industries. Among the main companies that managed the extraction we remember the Società Nazionale Kaolino, Pozzi Ginori. Management is currently in the hands of the Novara Industrial Minerals Group. Ceramics have been produced in the kaolin factory for several decades, in particular tiles and plates for companies of national importance. As a reminder of the area's mining vocation, it should be noted that in 1936, kaolin deposits were discovered in the surroundings of S. Severa. In the Monte Ansino plain in the “Forconcino” area, deposits of kaolin clay covering an area of approximately 800 hectares were identified. Furthermore, in the “Scaglia” area, kaolin trachyte and excellent quality white marble were discovered. Kaolin was and is used in the ceramic industry, for the manufacture of porcelain, pottery and in the paper industry. The exploitation of these two deposits began in October 1936".
