The mine of Piazza, near Deiva (La Spezia), was exploited for copper-rich mineralization until the beginning of XXth century. The Piazza Cu deposit occurs within the ophiolite of the Bracco Unit (Internal Ligurides), that represents a remnant of the Mesozoic Tethyan oceanic lithosphere. The ophiolite of the Piazza area consists of pillow basalts, coarse-grained to pegmatoid gabbros and serpentinite intruded by polyphase dike injections (dolerite and plagiogranite), and of breccias. These rocks suffered prehnite-pumpellyite to greenschist facies metamorphism related to the Apennine orogeny. The Apennine tectonics mainly produced large-scale open folds, brittle-ductile to brittle structures such as S-C structures, faults and fractures that di...
