Today, work in every sector often seems to be losing its original meaning. In recent years, economic success and the desire for quick recognition have increasingly taken precedence over a passion for one’s profession. Many people now live for their work, gradually losing their sense of identity, and this situation has prompted me to reflect deeply on the value of work. What does work mean to me? What does it truly mean to struggle and make sacrifices for it? To explore these questions, I chose to start with the human experience of those who have performed one of the hardest jobs in recent Italian history: miners. In the Sulcis-Iglesiente region, we collected the testimonies of men and women who spent over thirty years in the mining world. Now retired, and with a lifetime of physical and emotional toil behind them, what can they teach us today? What value does work hold for them? This story is not only a journey into the dark depths of the Sardinian soil, but a descent toward the light hidden within the human soul of each protagonist.
