FONTANILE VASCAPINE

The spring waters east of Caravaggio, near Masano, are called Fontanile Vascapine.

Even though it is not designated as a nature reserve, it is a protected enclosed area with greenery and ponds and is the habitat of various indigenous species including eels, mallards, herons, and barn owls. The mute swans and some species of fish living there have been introduced by men instead.

Fontanile Vascapine is open to visitors and can be reached by bicycle or by walking only.
