Piediluco Village and Lake

Highlight • Settlement

The name Piediluco derives from Latin and means "at the foot of the sacred forest", the town stands on the shores of the lake of the same name and at the foot of Mount Luco. Once upon a time the main commercial activity was fishing. This close relationship with the lake is also visible in the bas-reliefs of the entrance door of the church of San Francesco where fish and fishing tools are depicted. On the day of the summer solstice the town comes alive for the Water Festival with concerts, dances and a parade of allegorical boats.

Castle of the Dukes of Varano

Highlight • Castle

Castello Terria or Palazzo Varano is the historic residence of the Dukes Da Varano.
The building dates back to the 15th century; its current appearance is due to a renovation carried out in the 19th century by the architect Giuseppe Valadier, who created the artificial hill where it stands to protect it from river floods.

It is the road that connects Terni and Rieti, surrounded by greenery and well preserved. With the construction of the fast lane, it is almost traffic-free. Highly recommended!

Lake Ventina

Highlight • Lake

Nestled in the green woods of the province of Rieti, Lake Ventina is very small (its surface area is about 0.1 square kilometers) but very charming. It is located in the alluvial plain of the Conca Reatina and its maximum depth is 3.5 meters. It is possible to swim in it, but the lake is especially known for fishing.
