Lake Bracciano
Lake Bracciano is the second largest in Latium and of volcanic origin, hence its circular shape and great depth (about 540 ft). It is surrounded by forests, olive groves and gardens, and its outlet is the Arrone river, rising next to Anguillara and ending in the Tyrrhenian sea near Fregene. A sluice constructed by the end of the 1700's is still working perfectly, maintaining a constant water level. It feeds the Acquedotto Paulo, constructed under Pope Paul V at the beginning of the 1600's in order to supply the Vatican with fresh water.
