The Alleys of the Immaculate Conception and the Fucine Inlet: Guardian of an

The Fucine Inlet, situated in the Fucine plain, Abruzzo, Central Italy, is a monumental structure that forms part of an eclectic system for draining the region. Consisting of three-arched bridges and a statue of the Immaculate Conception, it stands about 7 meters high in Borgo Incile, south of Avezzano. The statue, along with the bridge, was constructed in 1876 by architect Carlo Nicola Carnevali. The head of the Fucine Lake's main emissary, built by Alessandro Torlonia in the same year, was part of an ambitious plan to resume the ancient drainage works started by Emperor Claudius centuries earlier, particularly the Tunnels of Claudius in Mount Salviano. This monumental structure in Borgo Incile serves as a vital guardian of this historic drainage system.
