Giovanni Targioni Tozzetti was a well-known naturalist who lived in Florence and travelled extensively in Tuscany for scientific reasons. In 1743 he wrote two letters to the Count of Richecourt to arouse the Regency’s interest in the wealth of Tuscan mines: firstly, a letter titled Observations on Tuscan mines followed by a second letter On the expected benefits of Tuscan mines. There is no information concerning Richecourt’s answer to this correspondence: however, subsequent to these letters, Targioni later published his renowned Reports on some travels in Tuscany between 1751 and 1754. In this work, together with an account of his travels, he also reported on Tuscan mines. Probably thanks to the strong stimulus by Targioni, a survey of all Tuscan mining sites, that until then had been unproductive or abandoned, was started. The two letters – today preserved in The State Archives of Florence (SAF) and in the National Central Library of Florence (NCLF) – are herein analyzed from a geological point of view and discussed with regard to the history of mining.
