L’Associazione Scuolaorchestra

Currently, between vocal and instrumental music, were formed along with a dozen groups that welcome people of all ages from 3 to 80 years. In addition to internal, this year sees the active participation of over 250 members, the Association organizes concerts and events, even with outside groups, both Italian and foreign, the search for a collective dialogue through the musical language. .Bracciano Lake
is a lake of volcanic origin in the Italian region of Lazio, 32 km (20 mi) northwest of Rome. It is the second largest lake in the region (second only to Lake Bolsena) and one of the major lakes of Italy. It has a circular perimeter of approximately 32 km (20 mi). The lake owes its origin to intense volcanic activity from 600,000 to 40,000 years before present, which created many small volcanoes in the Sabatino territory. The main magma chamber was situated under the present lake of Bracciano. Its collapse created the caldera now occupied by the lake, which is a crater lake. Some small craters are still recognisable around the lake and in the immediate vicinity. Three towns border the lake, Bracciano, Anguillara Sabazia and Trevignano Romano. The lake is an important tourist attraction situated near Rome. As it serves as a drinking water reservoir for the city of Rome it has been under control since 1986 in order to avoid pollution of its waters. .The legend of the monster in the lake
On Lake Bracciano for centuries there is the widespread belief of the existence of a monster that lived tens of meters deep and tore the nets of fishermen. In fact, it was discovered that the lake, in its waters contained the mystery of the legendary city of “Sabate,” submerged after an earthquake upheaval. Hence the name given to Lake Sabate, Sabatia Stagna, Sabatinus, etc. Recently, in La Marmotta, about three hundred meters from the shore of the lake and forty feet deep, was found a prehistoric village belonging to the Neolithic, the stone structure of which has a conical shape with a diameter of about thirty feet. In the village was found ceramic material (bowls, vases, etc.) and a canoe, currently housed in Anguillara near the train station. .
