The ancient medieval dam at the small hydroelectric plant
In the municipality of Pitigliano (in the province of Grosseto, central Italy) there is an ancient medieval dam serving a mill, now used for the small hydroelectric plant.

This print showcases the ancient medieval dam nestled in the picturesque municipality of Pitigliano, located in the province of Grosseto, central Italy. Once serving a mill, this historic structure now plays an essential role as part of a small hydroelectric plant. Unlike conventional dams, this small-scale hydro facility boasts smaller structures that ensure enhanced safety due to its reduced water volume and minimal environmental impact. The image captures the timeless beauty of nature with a tranquil waterfall cascading gracefully over the dam's sturdy walls. The remote location adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this scene, inviting viewers to ponder upon centuries-old engineering marvels that continue to harness renewable energy from flowing water. Amidst breathtaking landscapes and untouched surroundings, this photograph symbolizes humanity's commitment towards sustainable practices by utilizing renewable sources for power generation. It serves as a reminder that even within historical relics lies immense potential for progress and innovation. Marco Scataglini skillfully captures both the grandeur and serenity present in this scene through his lens.
