    The Gleno dam was a barrier on the Gleno stream which collapsed on 1 December 1923, causing a huge tragedy which shocked the Scalve valley in the province of Bergamo and the Camonica valley in the province of Brescia.

    The dam was built between 1916 and 1923. 260 meters long, it was the only example in the world of a mixed gravity dam with multiple arches.
