Resumen
This collection aims to compile and reprint the main writings of the wise Antonio Raimondi in the fields of science and the geological and mining industry. In these writings, his scientific contribution and his vision of the unavoidable role that mining plays in the challenge of national development remains valid. This edition also pays homage to the memory of the Milanese scientist, in the year that celebrates the one hundred and eighty years of his birth and the one hundred and thirty of the publication of his work "El Perú". It is a deep satisfaction to present this first volume dedicated to gold as a possibility; golden metal whose brightness illuminates the end, as Raimondi dreamed more than a century ago, the path of mining development in Peru facing the twenty-first century. Este libro compila los principales estudios del sabio Antonio Raimondi en los campos de la ciencia, la industria geológica y minera; investigaciones que mantienen vigente su aporte científico y su visión sobre el ineludible rol que le asiste a la minería en el reto del desarrollo nacional. Además, el texto contiene las acuarelas, dibujos y mapas que no pudieron ser incluidos en la primera edición del libro El Perú: itinerarios de viaje (1874), del investigador italiano.
