With The Little Russia, it is intended to make a contribution, both on the artistic and historical level, to the history of a territory that in the twentieth century played a role of particular centrality, in the context of what was the national chemical industry, controlled by the Montecatini-montedison Company of Milan; and, at the same time, in the events of the Italian workers' movement, precisely in relation to the political and union struggles of the miners of the gavorrano mine, known in those years for the particular conflict.

A history, that of Little Russia, at the same time, which aims to help fill the gap in the collective memory of the new generations, immemorial of the role played in the territory by the mining civilization, with those values of work, of the family and of solidarity that characterized the social composition of a whole community, today invested by a general and worrying process of removal and forgetfulness of that past.A history that, on the one hand, has, inevitably, a local dimension and limited to a territory, but, at the same time, a connection with those that were the most important historical junctions that our country has lived, in the transition from one century to the next.
