Lake Montedoglio is an artificial basin built in the 1980s blocking the Tiber river. It is located under the inhabited centers of Baldignano and Madonnuccia, which was built between the years 1979 and 1980 to house the inhabitants of the plain that would have been invaded by the waters. Lake Montedoglio is the largest lake in Tuscany.

Lake Montedoglio is an artificial basin built around the 1980s. This impressive project, the largest lake in Tuscany, has many purposes: from providing water for the crops in the Tiber Valley, to regulating the flow of the Tiber waters to avoid summer droughts, to providing electricity thanks to a power plant located downstream of the dam.
