A small hamlet of Terni, on the border between the Terni basin and the Rieti plain, crossed by the Velino river, it gives its name to the homonymous waterfall. An almost obligatory passage if you are between Terni and Rieti

On the road that leads to Valnerina you can see Collestatte. The town is made up of an old part, on the top of a hill (351 m above sea level) and the new part, lower down, called Collestatte Piano, with a total of 397 inhabitants. Nice to see

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.

It is early morning and the air is still like the lake water, everything is silent before the awakening of nature and man. The sun is there and begins to make visible the palette of a thousand colors. It is life that gives itself
