5 things to bookthe nearest is a 1 h 14 drive from Rome
Turano is a reservoir, filled in the nineteen-thirties, and the villages around it are medieval and built of the same grey stone as the mountain. Castel di Tora hangs above the water with the Navicella rock behind it.
Across the lake, Antuni was abandoned when the valley was flooded and stands empty on its promontory. You get there on foot, or you paddle over.
