The Capacciotti dam in the Tavoliere delle Puglie was built in the 1950s to regulate the course of the Ofanto river and irrigate the surrounding countryside. Thus it gave rise to Lake Capacciotti, an artificial basin that has become an important ecological corridor between the Adriatic coast and the Apennine mountains, and which hosts a rich biodiversity, especially of migratory birds.
