THE POWER OF THE EARTH

The power of the earth

Geothermal energy: Tuscany’s warm heart

Ironically, you don’t have to go to Larderello, the global capital of geothermal energy, to admire the natural aspects of the geothermal process at its best. You can stop in the area of Monterotondo and Sasso Pisano to see the power of the earth in all its strength.
