The dam that originates the Pontecosi lake was built in 1925 and is 33 meters high with a capacity of about three million cubic meters of water. The lake is shallow and not suitable for swimming; there are coots, wild ducks of various species and gray herons. Lake Pontecosi is located on two different municipalities: on one side the municipality of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana and on the other that of Pieve Fosciana.
The Tuscany, one of the most beautiful Italian regions, is known throughout the world for its Landscapes and for the Works of Art that it houses (It is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance). Six localities have been designated World Heritage Sites: the Historical Center of Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Pienza, the Square of the Cathedral of Pisa with the Leaning Tower and the Val d'Orcia. It is in the central Italy and borders with Emilia Romagna (north), Marche and Umbria (east) and Lazio (South). The West coast is bathed from the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Sea; here we can find the islands of the Tuscan archipelago including the island of Elba. The regional capital is Florence and the other provinces are: Arezzo, Grosseto, Livorno, Lucca, Massa, Pisa, Pistoia, Prato and Siena.
