Dai cassetti dei mobili e da quelli del tempo è riapparso un filmato preparato nel lontano 1994 a seguito di alcuni viaggi effettuati – con l’amico fotografo Rudy, al lago di Vagli che fu svuotato e che permise di vedere e fotografare le case, la chiesa e quel che rimaneva del riapparso paese sommerso di Fabbriche di Vagli. (da tenere presente le possibilità tecniche di allora per assemblare uno…

Lake Vagli, in the Tuscan countryside is more than just a reservoir – it conceals an entire medieval village in its waters. Fabbriche di Careggine was submerged in 1946 after a dam was built further up the lake plunging the village under 1.2 billion cubic feet (34 million cubic metres) of water. The then residents were relocated further south to another village, Vagli di Sotto.

Roughly once a decade Lake Vagli is intentionally drained to maintain the dam and the old village is unveiled. It was last visible in 1994, but has previously remerged in 1958, 1974, 1983 too. The events attracted visitors from around the world, eager to see the ghostly 12th-century stone buildings.

In 2020 there were rumors the lake would be drained. But there’s still no official word from Enel, who own the site, about exactly when the dam will be closed and the phantom-like village will surface once more.

Risen from the Waters, Drowned in Mist

I haven't  posted a throwback Thursday in a while, going a bit back in time for this one. Came across an article the other week that the Lago di Vagli will probably be drained in 2021 and I remembered that I was there the last time it was drained in long ago 1994.

While my scanning project has, unsurprisingly stalled (not given up, just…stalled) turns out that I had actually scanned some pictures from that outing. I thought I had taken more, but then, it was the era of film and looking at the pictures we must have gone in the fall or winter. I think it was one of the last days before they were going to flood the town again and it was a miserable day. Weather not at all conducive to picture taking.

I feel no nostalgia for the days of film, as these few shots remind me, I found myself limited, unwilling to risk the cost of a ruined roll. I appreciate the feeling of freedom that digital now gives me, I can take the shot and if it doesn't turn out, so be it, but at least I will take the shot :)

Still, happy that I risked a couple of shots way back then. Don't think I'll be able to go back to Vagli in 2021, but I was there on that misty, rainy day in 1994 :)

In case anyone wants more info, it is a town submerged by an artificial lake that gets occasionally drained for maintenence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabbriche_di_Careggine

A 12th century Italian village submerged underwater for more than 25 years could soon see the light of day again.

The village of Fabbriche di Careggine, in Lucca province, Tuscany, was flooded in 1946 to build a hydroelectric dam and Lake Vagli, according to the local tourism board. It has not been seen since 1994, when the dam was last…
