Bacino di San Giacomo, Twin reservoirs in Valdidentro, Italy.
Located at 1907 meters altitude, the Cancano and San Giacomo reservoirs form two large water bodies within Stelvio National Park in Lombardy.
The construction of these reservoirs began in 1925, with San Giacomo dam completed in the 1940s and Cancano dam finished in 1956.
The submerged village of San Giacomo, with its medieval church and iron mining heritage, remains beneath the reservoir waters.
The access road features 20 hairpin bends across 9 kilometers, with vehicle restrictions during July and August requiring advance planning.
The nearby Lago Scale natural lake operates without visible inflow or outflow, previously serving as a private fish breeding location during Lent periods.
