The entire Sunken Medieval Village is Eerily Emerging from an Italian Lake.

At the bottom of a lake, a forgotten medieval town that has been ‘frozen in time’ looks ready to resurface, probably giving tourists a direct glimpse back into the past.

Since 1947, the Italian village of Fabbriche di Careggine has been submerged under the waters next to a hydroelectric dam, but for the intervening years, it has remained in remarkably good condition under the man-made lake.

Global warming climate change.

Quite literally sunken civ!

[Tennessee Nana]

No that was every 100 years for 1 day...

LOL! Yeah, this has only been a few less years so maybe the Italians are on a different cycle. One of my favorite movies as a kid. Even with the singing and dancing. :-)

FTA: A group of blacksmiths founded the small community in Tuscany in the 13th century and soon became well-known for the ironwork produced there.

I bet all the iron is now rusted....

And on that day, Mario decided to become a plumber.

Archaeology World is garbage as a source, unless one is looking for garbage. This is an interesting Italian village story though. BTW, has anyone tried the house-for-one-Euro thing in any of those Italian villages?

Wikipedia: Fabbriche di Careggine was a medieval-era Italian village in Tuscany built in 1270.[1] The village has been inundated since the construction of the ENEL Dam and the subsequent formation of the artificial Lago di Vagli in 1946. The village is submerged under 34 million cubic meters (1.2 billion cubic feet) of water and the community structures below — homes, churches, cemeteries — are still preserved.[2] The village is occasionally seen when the lake is drained to conduct maintenance work. The village was last seen above water in 1994. It is expected that the village will resurface again in 2021, after 27 years beneath the lake's surface.
