Val d’Orcia May Advance San Piero in Campo Dam Project
A public assembly was held in Castiglione d’Orcia, attended by the mayors of Castiglione d’Orcia, Radicofani and San Quirico d’Orcia. The meeting, organized by the Lega Amiata‑Valdorcia and the civic list Presenza Attiva, reviewed the San Piero in Campo dam on the Orcia River, classified as infrastructure of national interest.
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has already allocated €700,000 for a feasibility study, and the local water‑consortium (Consorzio di Bonifica) is conducting the necessary evaluations. The three mayors pledged to draft a joint formal document expressing the shared intention of all interested administrations to pursue the project, which will be submitted to the Union of Communes Amiata Val d’Orcia, the designated deliberative body. The officials emphasized that “good intentions finally seem to be present,” while awaiting concrete actions.
Secretaries Massimo Bisconti (Lega Amiata‑Valdorcia) and Giovanni Costa (provincial Lega) participated in the discussion, underscoring political support for moving the dam project forward.
