The Area

Cottanello is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Rieti in the Italian region Latium, located about 60 kilometres (37 mi) north of Rome and about 15 kilometres (9 mi) west of Rieti. (Source: Wikipedia)


Rieti (Source Understanding Italy) Positioned inland, almost exactly in the centre of Italy, the province of Rieti is mainly mountainous with the highest peak being Monti della Laga at 2458 metres. Within this province there are also two, large and significant artificial lakes, Lago del Salto and Lago del Turano. Lago del Salto is the largest in the whole of the region and lies at an altitude of 1,755 metres above sea level.

Many national parks cross over or spill into this province giving it an abundance of beautiful, protected countryside and significant flora and fauna. The natural park of Monti Lucretili stretches across the southern areas while the natural reserve of Montagne della Duchessa covers the southeastern portion. Between the lakes of Salto and Turano there is the Natural Reserve of Monte Navegna and Monte Cervia and in the east the National Park of Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga just spreads into the province of Rieti.
