Lake Ventina

Highlight • Lake

Nestled in the green woods of the province of Rieti, Lake Ventina is very small (its surface area is about 0.1 square kilometers) but very charming. It is located in the alluvial plain of the Conca Reatina and its maximum depth is 3.5 meters. It is possible to swim in it, but the lake is especially known for fishing.

Piediluco Village and Lake

Highlight • Settlement

The name Piediluco derives from Latin and means "at the foot of the sacred forest", the town stands on the shores of the lake of the same name and at the foot of Mount Luco. Once upon a time the main commercial activity was fishing. This close relationship with the lake is also visible in the bas-reliefs of the entrance door of the church of San Francesco where fish and fishing tools are depicted. On the day of the summer solstice the town comes alive for the Water Festival with concerts, dances and a parade of allegorical boats.

Lake Piediluco

Highlight • Lake

Lago di Piediluco / Lake Piediluco
Located in the southeastern foothills of Umbria, with a tributary bordering Lazio, Lake Piediluco, although 1.85 km² wide, is the largest natural lake basin in the region after Lake Trasimeno. Its name seems to be interpreted as "at the foot of the sacred grove."

Together with Lakes Lungo, Ripasottile, and Ventina, located in the province of Rieti, it represents one of the remains of the ancient Lacus Velinus, a large basin of alluvial origin formed starting in the Quaternary period.

The irregularly shaped lake, with a circumference of approximately 13 kilometers, is located at an altitude of 375 meters and has a maximum depth of approximately 19 meters. Its natural tributary is the Fuscello stream; the other two tributaries are represented by artificial canals. One connects it to the Velino River, while the other, 42 kilometers long, consists almost entirely of tunnels and diverts part of the waters of the Nera River into the lake. The inflow and outflow of water is entirely tailored to the energy needs of the industry in nearby Terni. The emissary, the Velino River, is diverted towards Marmoré, where it flows into the Nera River to form the Marmore Waterfall.
