The Lago di Giacopiane is a reservoir in the Italian region of Liguria . It is located in the Valle Sturla of the Ligurian Apennines , near the municipality of Borzonasca . Politically, the lake, which is about 1000 meters above sea level, belongs to the metropolitan city of Genoa . Below the Lago di Giacopiane is the smaller Lago di Pian Sapeio .
The construction of the dam goes back to the fascist regime of the twenties. Both reservoirs were intended to compensate for the sharp rise in electricity consumption and also serve as drinking water reservoirs for the Tigullian region and the regional capital, Genoa .
