September 23, 2025 The picnic area is now nonexistent, everything is destroyed and abandoned, including the lake, which has almost become a puddle. It was truly sad to see all this. I went eight years ago, and everything was different. The area, once well-kept and maintained, is now populated by flies, horseflies, hornets, and a total wasteland.

Rione Fossi is a district of Accadia which was abandoned in 1930 due to a strong earthquake. It was the original nucleus of the town, founded by the Lombards and enriched by Roman temples and palaces. Today it is a ghost town, a suggestive and timeless place, where you can see the houses and streets carved into the rock, the Byzantine church of Saints Peter and Paul and the remains of the castle and the ducal palace.

Picnic area on the lake: a perfect area for a relaxing break, there are tables and benches where you can lean on.

The castle of Monteverde, built by the Lombards, dominates the valley crossed by the two rivers mentioned above and the first certain information about its existence comes from a parchment dating back to 897, in which it is certified that it had a fortified building. Of the noble families who lived there, the Grimaldis of Monaco are the main one, in addition, of course, to the one that gave the building its name. The castle, together with the territory of Monteverde and other fiefdoms, was donated, in 1532, by the emperor to Onorato I Grimaldi, Prince of Monaco, in exchange for his loyalty and his successors.

Monteverde is a small village that has just over 700 inhabitants in the province of Avellino. It dominates a valley of the Campania Apennines from the top of a rocky spur of 700 meters, straddling the Osento stream and the Ofanto river. For some years it has been included in the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy, due to its historic center of Norman origin and the castle characterized by four towers, two round and two square. In the 2018 edition of the Rai3 television program Il borgo dei borghi Monteverde was selected to represent Campania.

Artificial basin set in the Campania Apennines at 460 m above sea level. It receives its water from the Osento stream that originates in the Lacedonia area and has a fair flow of water, especially in winter. In the sixties, the Capitanata di Foggia decided to build this reservoir to allow the collection of the torrent waters, and then put them in the riverbed during drought periods, to be used for irrigation purposes in the lands of the nearby Puglia. The artificial reservoir has a maximum full capacity of 17,100,000 cubic meters and is delimited by the municipal boundaries of Monteverde, Aquilonia and Lacedonia, all common members of the Alta Irpinia Mountain Community. Lake San Pietro or Aquilaverde (i.e. Aquilonia - Monteverde) today is a place of peace and rare beauty due to the very green crown of the surrounding pine forests and is a wetland affected by the passage of migratory fauna. Only the large dam makes us remember that we are on the banks of an artificial basin. In the part closest to the access road, the bank is low and slopes gently into the water; the other bank is characterized by large rocky walls, dominated by abundant vegetation. A large picnic area develops along the north-east side of the lake
