Lago di Piediluco / Lake Piediluco
Located in the southeastern foothills of Umbria, with a tributary bordering Lazio, Lake Piediluco, although 1.85 km² wide, is the largest natural lake basin in the region after Lake Trasimeno. Its name seems to be interpreted as "at the foot of the sacred grove."
Together with Lakes Lungo, Ripasottile, and Ventina, located in the province of Rieti, it represents one of the remains of the ancient Lacus Velinus, a large basin of alluvial origin formed starting in the Quaternary period.

A hamlet of a thousand inhabitants in the municipality of Terni, Piediluco is known for the lake of the same name and is frequented by those visiting the nearby Marmore waterfalls. Of particular charm here is also the Rocca Albornoz, which stands on Monte Luco, abandoned since the end of the 18th century.
