Cascata delle Marmore waterfalls
The Cascata delle Marmore is a controlled flow waterfall, among the highest in Europe, with a total level difference of 165 m, divided into three jumps. The name derives from the calcium salts present on the rocks that look like marble. The waters of the waterfall are used intensely to produce electrical power, at the Galleto power plant. For this reason, the actual waterfalls do not run continually and for most of the time they are reduced to the size of a stream. The basin of the Piediluco lake works as a water reservoir for the power plant, built in 1029, it is able to produce electricity with a power of approximately 530 MW. In order to adjust power plant operation and allow everyone to view the waterfalls, during specific times and periods, the water falls are allowed to run at full capacity: an acoustic signal warns that the adjustment floodgates will be opened, and in just a few minutes capacity is increased to the maximum level. Normally the waterfalls run a few hours a day, with extended hours for public holidays.

Città della Domenica
Città della Domenica is a wildlife amusement park located in Perugia in the locality of Ferro di Cavallo (2 km from the city centre). Città della Domenica was established as a project by the entrepreneur from Perugia Mario Spagnoli that in 1960 decided to transform his property on Monte Pulito, in the outskirts of Perugia, into a park for family leisure time, a sort of ideal city that was initially to be called Spagnolia. Inaugurated April 21st of 1963, it can be considered the first example of Italian amusement park. With a huge size for that time period, it occupies multiple hills of Monte Pulito displaying fairy tale recreations, wildlife areas and small mechanical attractions for children, all while being immersed in the rich Umbrian vegetation.
