On July 19, 1985, the collapse of the Prestavèl mine dumps caused a mudslide that swept through the Val di Stava, bringing death and destruction. The tragedy brought mourning to 64 municipalities in 23 different provinces and regions of Italy where the victims of Val di Stava were residing at the time. The Stava 1985 Foundation NGO was established at the initiative of the victims' families. The Foundation offers a series of informational tools to explain the genesis, causes, and responsibilities of the disaster.
