The Paduan doctor Vitaliano Donati (1717-1762) just after being appointed lecturer of Botany at the University of Turin was sent by King Carlo Emanuele III to visit the dukedoms of Savoy and Aosta learn about the mining potential of the Savoy territory and compile a map of the mines, detailing the ores and the potential for exploitation and employment of local labor of each of them.
In Osservazioni di Storia Naturale … in Savoja, ed Aosta … anno MDCCLI about the Ollomont mine Donati wrote as follows: «It’s has been fifty and more years since this mine has been continuously exploited and therefore great excavations have been made and inside there are many caves, which might be compared to magnificent rooms … Among the copper mines of Savoja as well as of Piedmont it would perhaps be more profitable than any other ones».
