Lago Pertusillo
Basilicata
Built by damming the Agri river, this reservoir has become an important stopover for herons, cormorants and migratory waterfowl, with hides maintained along the northern shore. The surrounding hills carry olive groves and oak scrub typical of inland Basilicata. Anglers fish for carp and pike along the quieter coves.
