Allied bombing of Larderello, an Italian village in the Tuscany region, in 1944 targeted the world's first and only power complex that relied upon geothermal energy. The bombing was part of a campaign to weaken the Italien war effort and disrupt the Axis powers' ability to wage war. The bombing caused significant damage to Larderello's geothermal power plants and other infrastructure. The destruction of the geothermal complex at Larderello was disastrous because it was the only geothermal power plant at the time.
