Sorgenti del Volturno
Molise
The Volturno River is considered the longest river in southern Italy, and is of great importance both for the magnitude of its flow and for the breadth of its catchment area. It rises at Rocchetta a Volturno and flows through the province of Caserta into the Tyrrhenian Sea at Castel Volturno. The springs of Capo Volturno are located at the foot of the eastern slope of Mount Rocchetta, at about 548 m above sea level, forming a small lake. Part of the water coming from the springs is used by Enel to produce electricity, through two hydroelectric power stations located near the village of Rocchetta a Volturno.
