    Tips

    December 28, 2024

    The small iron door framed by the peperino architrave goes almost unnoticed but if it is found open it allows access to the entrance tunnel of this work of hydraulic engineering from the Roman era. The emissary of Lake Albano was presumably excavated at the beginning of the 4th century BC to regulate the level of the lake and, both for the technical difficulties encountered in the excavation and resolved with limited means and for the functionality that remained intact until the 1960s of the last century, it can be considered one of the most important hydraulic testimonies of our past. Some historical sources also speak of the emissary: Titus Livius links its construction to the final results of the war between Rome and Veii.
