Guspini occupies the western edge of the Campidano plain beneath Monte Arcuentu in southwestern Sardinia. The town belongs to the former mining district of Montevecchio, where lead and zinc extraction shaped work and settlement from the nineteenth century into the late twentieth. The surviving Montevecchio complex, shared with nearby Arbus, includes industrial buildings, miners’ homes and management residences, preserving a record of Sardinia’s industrial past. Roads from Guspini lead toward the wooded slopes of Monte Arcuentu and the Costa Verde, Sardinia’s sparsely built western shoreline.
