    Near the hamlet of Sega, on the slopes of Mount Penna, lies the Taro River dam, built in the early 1900s to power the valley's hydroelectric power plants. Built in 1917–18 and renovated several times, the dam is still operational today, regulating the river's flow upstream from the Santa Maria del Taro and Strinabecco power plants. Nestled in a quiet, wild valley, the reservoir is a small jewel of industrial archaeology, perfectly integrated into the mountain environment. A site that tells an important story in the history of energy in the Apennines, it remains an active part of the Ligurian and upper Taro Valley hydroelectric network.
