Lago Ampollino, Reservoir in Calabria, Italy
Located at 1,278 meters above sea level, Lago Ampollino extends across 5.59 square kilometers between the provinces of Catanzaro, Cosenza, and Crotone.
The Southern Electric Company constructed the Ampollino reservoir in 1926 to harness hydroelectric power from the water streams of the Sila region.
The Ampollino Sound Festival takes place annually in August near Villaggio Palumbo, bringing together musicians and audiences from across Italy.
The lake connects to three hydroelectric power stations: Orichella, Timpa, and Calusia, which provide water for irrigation in the upper Marchesato Crotonese plain.
The reservoir links to Lake Arvo, creating a habitat for various fish species including trout, tench, chub, perch, carp, and cisalpine minnows.
