About 4 km from Valentano, at the end of a dirt track, is Lake Mezzano, assumed to be the ancient Lacus Statoniensis described by the likes of Pliny and Seneca . Immersed in the silence of the woods and hills surrounding it, this lake was once a sacred site, as several artefacts prove. The hot, strong energy of this place can still be seen in the pure vigorous Nature. Spend some time here and you'll experience a feeling of optimism. The woods around the lake are great for a picnic. The perfect place, therefore, for anyone seeking true wellbeing.
