The
Fusaro lake was, in the myth, the Acherusia marshes in the culture of the
hereafter, just the same as the “Mare Morto” (Dead Sea) lake and the
surrounding countryside were the Campi Elisi (Elysian Fields). In Roman times,
on the banks of the lake, numerous patrician villas were built together with
thermal installations that used the natural hot water springs of the area;
almost nothing remains today of them except the enchanting beauty of the spot.
