Dams and hydroelectric plants in Valle del Chiese
Between the 1930s and the 1960s, Italy was the scene of the most intense phase of construction of hydroelectric plants. Since the 1950s, Trentino and in particular the Valle del Chiese were also affected by the construction of artificial lakes, pipelines, tunnels and hydroelectric plants. Thus were born the dams of Ponte Morandino and Boazzo in Valle di Daone, the imposing reservoirs of Bissina in Val di Fumo and Cimego on the valley floor, as well as other small basins, numerous water pipes and caves carved into the rock to power the various hydroelectric plants including the largest in Cimego, which in the first decades of production housed the most powerful current generating groups in Europe. Today, some of these plants reveal the secrets of hydroelectric production, thanks to guided tours led by accredited local guides.
