On April 2, was to see Niagara Falls, in Umbria, and we can say that it was a great experience. The force of the falls is now harnessed by hydroelectric power plants and therefore are open at certain times and only for an hour, in fact when we arrived they were still closed and the falls were only a trickle. Half an hour after they opened the floodgates, and we could see the power of water released, and dropped to a dip of 165m in height. The mist formed by the impact of the jump came up to us who were on the mountain Pennarossa, admiring everything. They say that those falls have inspired poets and artists, and still do, in fact many people were there painting them.
If you think that all this magnificence is man no one believes. Yet it was a Manlio Curio Dentato to require the construction of a canal to drain stagnant water of the river Velino, which formed a large swamp. Successive series of changes were made, and also interventions from architects and geologists, to bring the whole aspect now.
On the origins of the waterfall hangs a legend: a nymph named Nera
innamoròdi a good shepherd, Velino. But Juno, jealous of this love, he transformed the nymph into a river, which took the name of Black. Then Velino, not to lose his beloved, he fell a capofitto dalla rupe di Marmore. Questo salto, destinato a ripetersi per l'eternità , si replica ora nella Cascata delle Marmore. Ecco la pagina di Wikipedia per saperne di piu : Cascata delle Marmore - Wikipedia
Inoltre se andate sulla mia galleria di Flickr, troverete tante altre foto delle cascate :)
