サンタソフィアの湖・トップ17

An ancient Etruscan archaeological site, where, following the chance discovery of a bronze statuette by a herdsman (around 1850), excavations were carried out several times, resulting in the discovery of over a thousand bronze archaeological finds (statuettes, fragments, and arrowheads), some of which were of exquisite workmanship and value, now scattered throughout major museums worldwide. The small lake, almost a puddle, was therefore a center of Etruscan rituals and worship. It is considered the most important archaeological site in Casentino.

An interesting pool/lake, generated by spring water, I hypothesize that it owes its name (Nera) to the fact that its waters have an apparently blackish color, both because it is located in a basin covered by nearby cliffs and because the reeds covering its edges darken its color even further.
