Petrella Salto

Petrella Salto is best known in Lazio for Lake Salto, a reservoir created in 1940 by a dam on the Salto River for hydroelectric generation. The Salto, a tributary of the Velino, once ran through a narrow Cicolano valley; today the lake winds between wooded slopes of the central Apennines. Borgo San Pietro, beside the dam, is one of the municipality’s settlements and reflects how the reservoir has shaped local life since the twentieth century. Roads around the shores link scattered communities in a less urban corner of the province of Rieti. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Lazio.
