Synopsis
Abruzzo is usually described through its mountains. This book reads it through water.
From Lago di Scanno, born when a mountainside collapsed across a valley thousands of years ago, to the vanished Fucino, drained first by Roman ambition and finally by nineteenth-century engineering, The Lakes of Abruzzo explores the stories hidden behind some of central Italy’s most remarkable waters.
Along the way are reservoirs built for electricity that transformed entire valleys, villages that learned to live beside wolves and deer, wetlands created almost accidentally by dams, prehistoric caves, seasonal lakes on the high plateau of Campo Imperatore, and the vast aquifer flowing unseen beneath the Gran Sasso.
These are not simply beautiful places. They are landscapes shaped by earthquakes, monasteries, hydroelectric schemes, protests, conservation projects, forgotten industries, ancient legends and decisions still being made today.
Part natural history, part cultural history and part journey through one of Italy’s least understood regions, The Lakes of Abruzzo reveals how water has shaped communities, wildlife and memory across the wild Apennines and why even the smallest lake can carry a story far larger than its shoreline.
