    The scenery of this lake, with its shimmering cyan color that contrasts with the blue of the sky and the green of the vegetation, is enchanting.
    Also, on the lakeshore, there is a nuclear reactor that actually never worked: the activities were suspended after the Chernobyl accident.

    This artificial lake, dating back to the early 1900s, was created by the Italian State Railways to power the Bologna-Pistoia railway line. It is located within the Suviana and Brasimone Lakes Regional Park.

    On its south-eastern coast stands the Brasimone Research Center of ENEA (National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Development). Here, according to a project dating back to the 1970s, a nuclear reactor was supposed to be built. However, work was suspended following the Chernobyl accident in 1986 and the abrogative referendums of 1987 and the structure was converted and repurposed.
