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. The term small hydro refers to power plants that use much smaller structures than a normal dam, are safer, thanks to the smaller volume of water in the basin, and also have a low environmental and landscape impact
