Lago di Bolsena
Bolsena Lake, born out of a collapsed volcano in the Vulsini mountains, is the largest volcanic lake in Italy. Its clear waters led to the nickname of "drinking water" and their clarity can be seen even from its beaches of black sand. The unique nature of this corner of paradise has led to a development of vegetation, birds, fish which is strikingly amazing. The two islands, Martana and Bisentina, which rise on its waters, are no less beautiful or interesting. Bisentina island is particularly striking for its innumerable bays and very important for its ancient gardens and enchanting monuments. Martana Island, located in front of the town of Marta, is home to the remains of Santa Cristina in an attempt to keep it from falling prey to barbarians. The lake itself has a diameter of 60 km and is surrounded by some splendid towns including Bolsena, Capodimonte, Marta and Montefiascone.
