Above the remains

Antrona Schieranco. Italy

 

On July 27th of 1,642 A.C. a huge landslide destroyed the village of Antrona, killing 95 people. The debris closed the way of the River Troncone and this lake was born.

Today it is a lovely place to spend a day with your family, an incredible lovely place in the middle of one of the most rugged valley of the Alps, closed by harsh, steep mountains.

At the horizon the skyline of Cresta di Saas.

 

Il 27 Luglio del 1.642, una grande frana distrusse il villaggio di Antrona, uccidendo 95 persone. La frana sbarrò il corso del torrente Troncone e così si formò questo lago.

Oggi è un bel posto dove passare la giornata, magari con la famiglia.

Ironia della sorte.

All’orizzone la Cresta di Saas.
