Today, there are 29,887 inhabitants, which when it was founded, had only 50,000. And the recent Italian city, Carbonia, was founded by Mussolini in 1938. It was built in two years and retains the Fascist architectural structure, with huge buildings, wide streets that converge at the Piazza Roma, where the most important public buildings, such as City Hall, the Civic Tower and the Church of St. Pontian. Most notable is a bell tower of volcanic rock in that church. Carbonia means "carbone luogo or terra" (earth place or coal), indicating their strong relationship with the mineral. Its construction began in 1937 near the largest coal mine in Sardinia (and throughout Italy).
