Umbria | Lake Piediluco ⛰ Terni

Type: Interesting

Description:
Lake Piediluco is located in central Italy: on its shores stands the village of Piediluco, a fraction of Terni. Located on the southeastern foothills of Umbria, with a branch extending into Lazio, Lake Piediluco, although with an area of 1.85 km², can be considered the largest natural lake basin in the region after Trasimeno. The name seems interpretable as 'at the foot of the sacred forest'[1]. 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 alluvial basin formed starting from the Quaternary.
