The Etruscan Tagliata is, in reality, a work of Roman engineering dating back to the Republican period. It is an artificial passage dug into the rock, designed to prevent the silting of the port of Cosa, through a system of counter-currents coming from the sea and the emissary canal of Lake Burano. This extraordinary achievement became necessary when the Spacco della Regina, a large natural fissure in the promontory above with the same function, became impassable due to a landslide. In the area, the sixteenth-century Tagliata tower is also noteworthy, which was the residence of Giacomo Puccini, a famous Italian composer.

The Lago di Burano is a beautifully situated coastal lake. There are slightly hidden bathing entrances from the street, you have to walk a bit. The WWF maintains a nature conservation station here, the opening hours of which, at least in my case, have nothing to do with reality (see also https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lago_di_Burano).
