The village that has been underwater since 1994 may again appear

The village of Fabbbrice di Careggine, in the province of Lucca, Toscana, was flooded in the distant 1946 year to build a dam, and that village was last seen once again when the lake was empty in 1994.

The city's inhabitants moved to a new town by the lake, Vagli di Soto.

Smugged under 34 million cubic metres of water, the still intact structures of the abandoned village ʹ including stone houses, a bridge, cemetery, and the church of San Theodoro o'clock are seen only when the dam is empty for maintenance.

According to local tourism officials, this has happened only four times since the 12th century ghost city flood. In 1958, 1974, 1983, and 1994.

Local politicians have long tried to drain the lake and restore the ruined village to sight, according to local media reports.

The Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported in 2015 that Mario Puglia, a former mayor of the neighbouring municipality of Vagli di Soto, called for the lake to dry up again to grow tourism in the region.

But now there are signs that the lake can be emptied once more 27 years after it was finally planted to find the village.

In a Facebook post, Lorenza George, the daughter of former local mayor Ilio Domenico George, indicated that the lake, which currently operates as a water reservoir in case of fire, could dry up next year.

The last <x0HHER was in 1994 when my father was mayor and thanks to his efforts and numerous initiatives that, with great effort, was able to establish the entire city of Vagli and was able to welcome more than 1 million people”, she wrote.
