Corbara Lake
|
The Lake of Corbara is an artificial basin orginated in the fifties because of a dam on the river Tiber. You can have one of the best view on the basin from Civitella del Lago, ancient hillside hamlet that owes its fortune to the Attis (in this place you can still see their palace).
To be seen also the church of "La Madonna del Prato" (1660), contain-ing a "Via Crucis" painted by eight contemporary painters, among which Giovanni Tenneroni. Between the lake and the mountains is located the "Parco di Bottilandia", a wood where animals find their shelter inside huts made out of old wooden barrels. The Lake of Corbara has become since a few years a meeting-place for paddle-lovers. At Salviano, on the 448 Baschi-Todi road, you find the Corlago Rowing and Sculling Centre, provided with a pier, a boathouse and facilities for sport and social activities. Amateurish and agonist activities are held here as well as interregional contests.
Among the things you can see at Salvano, the Dragon Boat, an oriental speciality, a boat with twenty or more rowers, with the rowing rhythm stressed by the beat of the drum. On the same road 448, beside the lake, there's one of the temples of Italian cuisine, "Vissani". Gianfranco Vissani, top cook of the Italian cuisine, is in charge of the cooking. Exclusive dishes, creativity and international renown make this restaurant something beyond the mere catering. You woudn't even find the word "ristorante" on the signs. A cult place for delicate palates. Not to be missed, at least once in your life.
