Second in Lazio and eighth in Italy by surface area (57 sq km), the Roman *Sabatine Lake* has a maximum depth of about 170 meters and a volume of over 5 billion cubic meters. Its perimeter (31.5 km) is almost circular; the three towns of Bracciano, Anguillara, and Trevignano are positioned at regular distances of about 11.5 km from each other, forming a perfect triangular layout. About one and a half million years ago, a series of volcanic eruptions gave rise to the volcanic system now known as the “Sabatine.” When the eruptions ceased, the craters filled with water, forming four lakes. Of these, two (Bracciano and Martignano) still exist today; a third, Lake Baccano, was drained in Roman times, while the fourth, known as Lake Stracciacappe, was reclaimed in the 18th century after it had been reduced to little more than a swamp.
Around Lake Bracciano, remnants of riparian forest (poplars, alders, and willows) can still be found, and the fish population—once an essential part of the local economy—remains rich and diverse, with pike, perch, whitefish, and eels. Among the bird species, ospreys and wetland migratory birds are noteworthy, while mammals are more rarely seen, due above all to urban development and tourism.
The lake basin is part of a larger natural area that stretches westward toward the Tolfa Mountains and eastward toward the Tiber Valley. Closely connected to the lake environment are the Caldara of Manziana (another ancient crater of the Sabatine complex, dotted with sulfur dioxide geysers, remnants of secondary volcanic activity) and the Monterano Nature Reserve.
