Lago di Occhitto

On the south side of Pietracatella is a lake named "Lago di Occhitto". It is a man made lake that was created to help irrigate the terrain of both Molise and Puglia. It actually borders both regions.

The region of Molise is actually one of the main producers of grain used in pasta exported from Italy. Check out your next bag of imported pasta ;)

With the creation of the lake has come the reintroduction of various flora and fauna and if ai understood correctly, some tours are organized for local schools to explore the area.
