Lake Boccafornace is located in the municipality of Pievebovigliana (MC), a town in the upper Macerata area at 470 m above sea level which falls within the national park of the Sibillini mountains. The lake is easily accessible on foot, a few minutes from the town centre, or by car following the signposted road. Boccafornace lake, located close to the historic centre, is an artificial basin fed by a karstic spring, with an intermittent flow; in dry periods it is possible to visit the natural cave adjacent to the lake. Not to be missed, during the winter period, is the vision of the karst siphon. Peculiar the view from above that allows you to observe the heart shape of the lake. Furthermore, the psychologist Laura Salvi has created a path of stones, like traces to follow, like signs, like fairytale crumbs to accompany the visitor’s journey along the path that runs along the lake of Boccafornace. The works conceived by the psychologist Laura Salvi and created by local laboratories are stones to be placed in symbolic and landscape-relevant places on the promenade that surrounds the lake. Stone, a material that interacts with the territory in which it is placed, will be incorporated into the life of the local flora and fauna from year to year. The artistic action can also represent the first step of a path managed in a social way: new stones could be designed together with associations, with local realities that bring the presence of other local realities to the lake, just as some stones could be inserted in the fabric of the city and the surrounding and regional landscape, in a dialogue that brings together several places under the same path. A reserved, meditative naturalistic place, at the same time teeming with nature, the lake is the exceptional place chosen for this artistic project which places large stones in strategic places along the promenade with phrases engraved on their backs that cross the fate of the lake and of man, the flow of existence, rest and reflection, energy, enthusiasm, in short, life! Every step, from stone to stone, from suggestion to suggestion, from place to place, helps to outline a renewed path and a new attraction around this corner of the Marche region. .
