1975 -1980 Fano Foundation Educational Village/International Summer School in Italy
Once the water was diverted and the creek bed was dry, we stabilized the existing topology before the water was allowed to resume its course. Next was the construction of the rear dam after determining the support, as well as the extent and the shape of the intake side of the lake.
Lining, stabilizing and shaping of what would be the lake bottom followed next.
The final stage was building the front dam, which determined the depth and shape of the outflow side of the little lake.
The lake was built by volunteers. The International summer school participants were joined by citizens from two local towns Presicce and Salve, which traditionally didn't work together on volunteer community projects.
The overall shape of the lake was like a bowl, not unlike two clasped hands conjoined to create a temporary drinking cup.
The final act of creating the lake was bringing wild rosemary, thyme, oregano, lavender and other indigenous plants from the surrounding hills and planting them on the dam and the adjacent area.
