Description
n the sea is at one with the development of sea trade and the growth of companies which have marked the economic development of Sardinia over many years. The Plaisant family came to Sardinia from Tuscany following the trade routes of their sailing ships, and in 1756 established themselves in Carloforte, in the isle of San Pietro (facing the south-western coast of Sardinia), where they begun their activity as forwarders (or "spedisiuné" in the local genoese dialect). In 1840, the year our Shipping Agency was established, we were appointed by foreign companies as selling and commission agents for the extraction of mineral ores.
The port of Carloforte offered the only suitable harbour, well protected from adverse weather and with sufficient depth for the unloading and shipping of the ores extracted from the flourishing lead and zine mines of the Sulcis-Iglesiente region. At the time, mining activity was the only leading sector of the local economy.
Due to the lack of adequate roads and means of transport, the ore and all necessary equipment for the mines were transported by sea, at first by sailing ships, later on by steamers. During the 1930s, when the mining town of Carbonia was founded, coal extraction had a sudden upsurge, prompted by the increased internal demand in a period of economic autarchy. Consequently, in January 1938 our Agency opened an office in the island of Sant'Antioco.
