Lake Sassano

"Natural" reservoir of karst origin supported by the hand of man who, over the years, has been able to exploit the depressions present for the positioning of cisterns useful for collecting winter precipitation in order to accumulate precious water resources in view of the summer. Today, although it no longer serves this purpose, it is a precious source for the life of birds, fish, amphibians and local fauna.
Powered by an underground pipeline that conveys the rain that has fallen to the surrounding areas, it manages to win the "battle" against the strong evaporation caused by the heat.
And so it is visible and open to visitors throughout the year.
