I stumbled across this. Apparently there is a lot of coal under Sardinia . My knowledge of coal mining and Sardinia is minimal . We're the Italians unaware of this vast reserve ? Or was it inaccessible with 1930/40s technology.
Italy and its Navy were famously short of fuel .is there any way this reserve could have been exploited before and during WW2 and if so what difference would it have made?
