Ancient underwater village could resurface


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

An ancient Italian village that was submerged when a hydroelectric dam was built in the 1940s could resurface next year.

The 12th Century village of Fabbriche di Careggine in Tuscany in the north of Italy, was permanently flooded in 1946 to make way for the construction of the huge body of water, leaving it preserved, but unseen, for decades.

Lake Vagli, where the village sits, has to be drained from time to time to allow for maintenance of the dam - which last happened in 1994.

There are a few villages which were flooded to make room for the dams to take over.

Here is one I have seen, Tryweryn in Wales. The Liverpudlians should be grateful to all those who lost their village.
