Tips
small fountain recovered in the early 2000s, to reach it a nice path with benches and shade, really very nice

Spring water flows here at around 9 – 12°C, rich in limestone. The fountain was particularly valuable for agricultural irrigation, as it exploited the proximity of the aquifer by bringing the water downstream via canals. In the past this technique allowed marcita cultivation, that is, flooding the fields. The practice is no longer widespread but the network of channels remains.
