Borgaccio Wall, near the river Toce, which demarcates Pieve Vergonte from the nearby village ofVogogna. It is the remains of a wall of the castle of Pietra Santa, which was destroyed on February 9, 1348, and it is commonly called the Borgaccio.
During World War II, thechloralkali process,sulfuric acid, and fertilizers were produced. After the war, shutting down the production of sulphuric acid,Rumianca SpA [it], and then the SIR Group, developed new product lines for the production ofDDT andchloroaromatics. These products were used by the United States of America during theVietnam War.
In 1981, the facilities of this company were transferred to the ENI Group and the ANIC Company. The ANIC, then EniChem, DDT plants ran until June 1996 and remained in production until their sale on July 1, 1997, to Tessenderlo, Italy. Thechloralkali, chlorine, and aromatic synthetic HCL are in production for the Tessenderlo Group.
In May 2013, Tessenderlo Group sold Tessenderlo Partecipazioni SpA, and its subsidiary Tessenderlo Italy Srl, to International Chemical Investors Group (ICIG).[7] The transaction includes the plant in Pieve Vergonte (VB), where there is now an active electrolysis plant, one for chloro-aromatics, and two hydroelectric plants that provide energy.[8]
