Loiano
Subject: Springs and Fountains
Toponym: Fontana di Scascoli
Type: Fountain and spring
Municipality: Loiano
Locality: Valle di Scascoli
Description:
A very old spring with a drinking trough and basin, faithfully restored to reflect the original structure.
The calcium-sulphate mineral waters from the spring contain a significant amount of carbonates, thus providing a mild laxative action.
Due to the sulphate content, which often exceeds the limits allowed by law, the water from the spring may not be used for drinking in certain periods of the year.
The flow rate varies over time from 1.7 to 0.9 litres per minute.
