Lake Corlo
Highlight • Lake
The area now occupied by the reservoir was once known as 'el Ligònt': a broad, fertile plain, crossed by the stream, with several bustling hamlets. The construction of the dam significantly disrupted the valley: many villages were forcibly evacuated and submerged; many were deprived of their main source of livelihood (cultivated fields and pastures); the village of Rocca d'Arsié was largely engulfed by the water; of the 3,000 inhabitants scattered among the various factions, 2,500 were forced to emigrate; on the eastern slope, several farmhouses found themselves completely isolated from the outside world and were soon abandoned. Various promises were made to residents, such as free electricity, jobs, the construction of roads and new homes (which were indeed built, but quickly proved to be quite shoddy): promises that were submerged along with the valley.
The solitary bell tower of Rocca, on the shores of the lake, has become the symbol of this story: it was left in its original site, while the church was demolished and rebuilt 500 meters to the south, at a higher altitude, protected from the waters; for this reason, it is said that the bell tower and the church have "divorced"!
Today, the lake is very evocative and fascinating: the tranquil and flat western shores, a destination for recreation and summer activities (camping, SUP, canoeing, pedal boats, and swimming), contrast with the steep and desolate eastern side, with rocky cliffs overlooking the water. The water level can vary greatly, depending on the season and the weather.
