THE TOWN

Roman Villa


  
In the locality of Quarantaia, on one of the most beautiful hills overlooking the lake, the remains of this Roman villa have recently been found, dating back to the 1c AD. Its impressive proportions, not yet completely defined, suggest that the villa was owned by wealthy masters; amongst the rooms which have been identified, there are two communicating basins, probably used as cisterns, the first one collecting spring water which was then transferred into the second, and also a kiln to bake bricks.
