Last updated

The regional park of the Suviana and Brasimone lakes (Italian : parco regionale dei laghi di Suviana e Brasimone) is a protected natural area established in 1995, consisting of two artificial lakes, Lake Suviana and Lake Brasimone, and their surrounding area. The park is in the Bolognese Apennines, in Emilia-Romagna, on the border with Tuscany, in Italy. [1] The lakes were built in 1933 and 1911, respectively, and used for the production of hydroelectricity. [2] Inside the park are several smaller protected areas, including the abandoned village of Chiapporato  [ it ], the Suviana and Brasimone Lakes protected area, (Italian : Laghi di Suviana e Brasimone, IT40500020). [3]

A variety of animal and plant species have been recorded within the park. Plants include Fritillaria tenella , Saxifraga paniculata , and an assortment of trees including chestnuts, oaks, beeches and conifers. [1] Animals recorded in the park include wolves, peregrine falcons, honey buzzards, nightjars, woodlarks, red-backed shrikes, quails, wrynecks, flycatchers, several species of bat, spectacled salamanders, and several species of crayfish. [3]

The lakes are a popular tourist destination; camping and fishing are allowed. [2] There is a museum dedicated to the nearby forest in the park. [1]
