  2. HISTORY OF RIETI Rieti (Reate in Latin) is a town in Latium, Italy with a population of 41,394. It is the capital of Rieti Province and the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rieti.The city is placed on a small hilltop commanding a wide plain, at the southern edge of an ancient lake and by the side of a river (to be known as Mellinus and later Velino). Today only the small lakes of Ripasottile and Cantalice remain of the original basin.Reate was originally a major site of the Sabine nation. After the Roman conquest, carried out by Manius Curius Dentatus in late 3rd century BC, the village became a strategic point in the early italic road network, dominating the "salt" track (Via Salaria) that joined Rome to the Adriatic Sea across the Appennine mountains.Through a deep cut in the limestone at the northern edge of the valley, Curius Dentatus made the water of the lake flow away in the Nera river, then the wide area once occupied by the lake turned into a fertile plain, and the land was split by surveyors into square allotments, in the shape of a regular grid. The town itself was re-founded on the basis of orthogonal axes, and was fortified with strong walls all around; a stone bridge was laid across the Velino river, and a great viaduct was built to lead people and carts from the Salaria road up to the southern door of the town.

  3. VELINO RIVER The Velino ia a river in central Italy, an affluent of the Nera River. Its source is located on Monte Pozzoni's slopes (1,903 m) near Cittareale. Aftwards it runs through a narrow valley next the Mount Terminillo, known as "Gole del Vento" ("Wind's Ravines") and, near Antrodoco, receives the Peschiera's Sources, which have a discharge of some 60 m³/s (some is sent to Rome) through an aqueduct.Then it receives the waters of the left affluents Salto and Turano, and then enters the plain of Rieti, where its discharge if further increased by other minor streams. Near Papigno, it falls into the Nera forming the famous Cascate delle Marmore falls.In pre-Romans times the river ended into a marsh within the plain of Rieti.

  4. COTILIA BATHS The Baths of Cotilia were so famous and popular in Roman times that the Emperor Vespasian, whose family traced their origins to the area, located his summer residence here with its own bath complex. Between the 16th and 19th centuries the therapeutic properties of its waters were scientifically confirmed leading to the gradual re-establishment of the baths, which were completely re-modernised in 1984.The waters bubble up from two springs (‘Vecchi’ and ‘Nuovi Bagni’) in such abundance that they form two small lakes.The baths are located in a historical and natural landscape of great interest near volcanic lakes, the Velino Gorge, Termimillo and nearby medieval towns.Therapies: Digestive system diseases, Dermatological disorders, Locomotor system diseases, Respiratory system diseases, Urinary system diseases, Metabolism disorder, Gynaecological diseasesTreatments: Aerosol-humages, hydro-balneotherapy, drinking-water, nasal shower, mud therapy, inhalations, insufflations, nasal irrigations, vaginal irrigations, hydromassage, hydro courses.

  5. SALTO LAKE It is the largest artificial lake in Lazio. Created in 1940 thanks to a 90-meter hight dam, the lake is very indented and lies in the valley where a torrent bearing the same name used to run. The valley is parallel to the Turano one, where the other artificial lake of the region is. Also known as Borgo San Pietro Lake from the name of the village it once submerged, its altitude is more or less the same as Turano Lake’s, from which it is divided by Mount Navegna.

  6. turano lake Lake Turano is a large hydro electric basin which is connected to Lake Salto by a tunnel and supplies electricity to Cotilia. It lies at the foot of Mount Navegna and mirrored in the waters are some magnificent castles and ancient villages. Half way along the lake lie two villages, Colle di Tora and Castel di Tora, one on a peninsular and the other on a rocky hill. Their names comes from the ancient Sabine-Roman city of Thiora. Historically and artistically interesting places nearby are Rocca Sinibalda, and Collalto Sabino.
