Terni - Italy
Terni is a city in the southern portion of the Region of Umbria in central Italy. The city is the capital of the province of Terni, located in the plain of the Nera river. It is 104 kilometres (65 miles) northeast of Rome.
Originally founded as an Ancient Roman town, the city has changed across the centuries. During the 19th-century, steel mills were introduced and led the city to have a role in the second industrial revolution in Italy. Because of its industrial importance. the city was heavily bombed during World War II by the Allies. It still remains an industrial hub, and has been nicknamed The Steel City and the Italian Manchester.
Terni also advertises itself as a City of Lovers, as its patron saint, Saint Valentine, was born and became a bishop here and the remains are preserved in the basilica-sanctuary in his honor.

Places to see in ( Terni - Italy ) Piediluco
Piediluco is a fraction of the municipality of Terni ( TR ). Located at 375 m asl, the village is inhabited by 523 residents. It rises on the banks of the homonymous lake that feeds, together with the waters of the Velino river , the Marmore waterfall. Since 2016 it is part of the club of the most beautiful villages in Italy
Archaeological excavations in the area have allowed to find remains of settlements dating back to the late Bronze Age . Later it was conquered by the Sabines and, from the middle of the III century BC , it passed to the Romans. In a 1028 document mention is made of the Castello de Luco (on the top of the Rocca mountain, from the Latin lucus , sacred forest ) and the curtem de Postro (on the lake shore), as a possession of that Bernardo D'Arrone, feudal lord of the place, which grants it to the monks of the Abbey of Farfa . The Fortress was characterized by a keep with a quadrangular tower, of which only the remains are left. At the bottom there was a small village, in the area called the Colle .
Lago di Piediluco is a lake that straddles the border between the Province of Terni, Umbria, Italy and the Province of Rieti, Lazio. At an elevation of 375 m, its surface area is 1.58 km². The lake is formed by the inflow of water from three sources: the Rio Fuscello, the Velino river and the Nera river.
The flow from the Rio Fuscello is naturally occurring, while the flows from the Nera and Velino rivers are each influenced in some part due to man-made means. A partial diversion of the Nera in the Nera river valley (Valnerina) conducts the flow via a lengthy aqueduct and canal system built in the 1920s during the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini, entering the lake at the northwestern end of the village of Piediluco, near the entrance to the town from the Via Ternana SS79 motorway. A canal of approximately 400 meters' length was built, also in the 1920s, to divert the Velino river from its existing natural course into the lake. The purpose of this work was to improve hydroelectric power production.
At one time the lake was part of a much larger lake, known from Roman times as Lacus Velinus or Lake Velino. Lake Piediluco was formed as a result of cuts downstream from the lake that drained the waters of Lake Velino into the lower Nera River, which also created the Cascata delle Marmore waterfall. Lake Piediluco is the site of the Italian National Rowing Center, which hosts many training and competition events at the national, European, and international level. The lake is ideal for the sport due to its shape, central geographical location, and the relatively calm winds.

Sea Kayaking - Viaggiare per mare nel modo più ecologico
Grazie ad un'idea di collaborazione del polistrumentista Nino Macaluso, che ha lanciato il suo brano Mbira, ho realizzato con enorme piacere questo video che raccoglie diversi spezzoni in giro per l'Italia (Sicilia, Sardegna, Puglia, Calabria, vari Laghi del nord Italia) con il suo brano come colonna sonora.
Il video vuole presentare il mondo del kayak a chi non lo conosce o lo conosce poco attraverso i luoghi visitati. A livello lacustre e marino non esiste nessun altro natante che può contemporaneamente navigare:
- in completa autonomia anche per diverse settimane/mesi
- navigare anche a pochi metri dalla costa
- affrontare in sicurezza anche condizione di mare formato
- senza inquinare
- senza far rumore
- nel caso di ribaltamento riuscire a raddrizzare la barca rimanendo al proprio interno
- percorrendo diverse decine di chilometri al giorno
L'emozioni provate nei viaggi in kayak in autosufficienza, vivendo tra la battigia e il mare per più giorni, non possono che lasciare in noi dei ricordi indelebili.

Kayaker: Danilo Tulone, Silvio Maria Costa, Marco Ferrario
Luoghi: Sicilia, Calabria, Sardegna, Puglia, Lago di Como, Lago di Pusiano, Lago Maggiore
Musica: Mbira di Nino Macaluso

-----------------
Un ringraziamento sentito a Marco Ferrario che mi ha fatto da guida nei laghi del nord Italia e a Silvio Maria Costa con cui ho condiviso diversi splendidi viaggi per circa 2000 Km di costa italiana.
P.S.: anche se nel video a volte vengono mostrati i kayaker senza il giubbotto di aiuto al galleggiamento, sarebbe sempre buona norma indossarlo.
