The Bell Tower of Curon, Italy
The Bell Tower of Curon, Italy
Reschensee or Lake Reschen in Italian Lago di Resia and in German Reschensee is an artificial lake in the western portion of South Tyrol, Italy, to be exact at Curon in Val Venosta. The Campanile di Curon Bell Tower is a leftover of the old town of Curon. Its striking landmark - a steeple towering from the lake, approximately two kilometers form the border with Austria, and three kilometers from the border with Switzerland. With its capacity of 120 million cubic meters and it is the largest lake in the province. Its surface area of 6.6 km² makes it also the largest lake above one thousand meters in the Alps. It is fed by the Adige, Rojenbach and Karlinbach and drained by the Adige.
The lake is famous for the steeple of a submerged 700 year old church; when the water freezes, this can be reached on foot. A legend says that during winter visitor can still hear church bells ring, but the bells were removed from the tower on 18 July 1950, a week before the demolition of the church nave and the creation of the lake.
In 1920 the main plans is five meter deep artificial lake but in July 1939, the Montecatini company (now Edison Energia) introduced a new plan for a 22 meter or 72 ft-deep lake, which would unify two natural lakes Reschensee and Mittersee and submerge several villages, including Graun and part of Reschen. The creation of the dam started in April 1940 but, due to the war and local resistance, did not finish in a year.
In 1947 the Swiss company Elektro-Watt paid 30 million Swiss francs for the construction of the dam , in exchange for 10 years of seasonal electricity. In total 163 homes and 523 hectares of cultivated land were submerged. About 150 families were robbed of their lives, half were forced to emigrate. The compensation was very small.
Today the tower is the only piece left alive, to remind the village of Curon. The bell tower was put under the protection of the fine arts department and became the symbol of the town of Curon. On 9 July 2009 restoration works were concluded: the water level of the lake was previously (in May) slightly lowered to allow work on the recovery of static structure, but also on the cracks that were present in corners of the north and north-east facades, most likely caused by the infiltration of water in small cracks and its subsequent winter frosts. Even the roof was restored, as the bell tower is considered a medieval heritage to be protected. The total cost of the restoration in 2009, was around € 130,000. In winter, when the lake freezes, the bell tower is within walking distance. A legend tells that in some winter days is possible to still hear the bells ringing (which instead were removed from the bell tower July 18, 1950, before the formation of the lake).

A church that's been underwater for almost 50 years is resurfacing
The Temple of Santiago, a 16th-century church, has been submerged underwater since the 1960's. Now, thanks to a drought in the region that's caused water levels to drop 82 feet, the abandoned temple has risen from its watery tomb.

Flying around The Stelvio Pass - The Stilfser Joch by drone | Stelvio Pass Series Ep. 003
Flying around the Stelvio Pass. Footage of the legendary Passo dello Stelvio, spotting a rare Gipeto, gliding over the Campanile di Curon (Kirchturm Von Altgraun), spotting the abandoned Castle / Fortress of Montechiaro (Burgruine Lichtenberg), the cable car over the Pirovano summit.
Also featured the Lago di Resia (Resia Lake / Reschensee / Lake Reschen). The lake is famous for the steeple of a submerged 14th-century church; when the water freezes, this can be reached on foot. A legend says that during winter one can still hear church bells ring. In reality the bells were removed from the tower on July 18, 1950, a week before the demolition of the church nave and the creation of the lake. The Stelvio Pass (Passo dello Stelvio / Stilfser Joch) is a mountain pass in northern Italy, at an elevation of 2,757 m (9,045 ft) above sea level. It is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, and the second highest in the Alps.
The Vinschgau Valley (Val Venosta) runs in a west-east orientation, from the Merano basin at Partschins up the Adige river to Reschen Pass in the northwest. The Ötztal Alps in the north, part of the Alpine crest, separate it from the upper Inn Valley. The Adige valley is further confined by the Sesvenna Alps in the west and the Ortler Alps in the south. It comprises several side valleys, such as the Suldental, the Matscher Tal, or the Schnalstal.
Due to the insular location within the Central Eastern Alps, a rather warm climate and a lack of rain (400mm per year), fields, meadows and apple orchards are irrigated. Viticulture is also common.
TOP Gear defines Italy's Stelvio Pass:: One of the World's greatest roads. The Stelvio Pass (Italian: Passo dello Stelvio) is a mountain pass in northern Italy, at an elevation of 2,757 m (9,045 ft) above sea level. It is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, and the second highest in the Alps.
The original road was built in 1820–25 by the Austrian Empire to connect the former Austrian province of Lombardy with the rest of Austria, covering a climb of 1,871 m (6,138 ft) The engineer and project manager was Carlo Donegani (1775–1845). Since then, the route has changed very little. Its seventy-five hairpin turns, 48 of them on the northern side numbered with stones, are a challenge to motorists. Stirling Moss went off the road here during a vintage car event in the 1990s, with an onboard video of his incident being shown on satellite TV.
Before the end of World War I, it formed the border between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Italian Kingdom. The Swiss had an outpost and a hotel (which was destroyed) on the Dreisprachenspitze (literally, Three-Language-Peak). During World War I, fierce battles were fought in the ice and snow of the area, with gun fire even crossing the Swiss area at times. The three nations made an agreement not to fire over Swiss territory, which jutted out in between Austria (to the north) and Italy (to the south). Instead they could fire down the pass, as Swiss territory was up and around the peak. After 1919, with the expansion of Italy, the pass lost its strategic importance.
