AGNANO, LAGO DI

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 377 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AGNANO, LAGO DI , a circular lake, 5 M. W. of Naples,
Italy
 . It was apparently not formed until the
middle
  ages, as it is not mentioned by ancient writers; it was drained in 1870. It occupied the crater of an
extinct
 
volcano
 , 4 M. in circumference. On the
south
  bank are the Stufe di S. Germano, natural sulphureous vapour baths, and close by is the Grotta del Cane, from the
floor
  of which warm carbonic acid gas constantly rises to a height of 18 in., the fumes of which render a dog insensible in a few seconds. It is mentioned by Pliny (Nat. Hist. ii. 93). Remains of an extensive Roman building and some statues have been discovered close by.
