Lago di Pertusillo, Val d'Agri
Basilicata
Lago di Pertusillo (670 m) in the Val d'Agri is a reservoir inside the Appennino Lucano National Park — surrounded by forested hills with no industrial development visible. Osprey fishes regularly in autumn. Greater flamingo has been recorded as a vagrant. The oil extraction infrastructure of the Val d'Agri ENI field begins immediately outside the park boundary — a strange juxtaposition.
