Questo documentario attualmente in corso di lavorazione (regia di Massimo D'Alessandro, uscita prevista per il 2017) racconta il lavoro che dal 2013 stanno conducendo i gruppi speleologici A.S.S.O., EGERIA CRS e ROMA SOTTERRANEA per l'esplorazione dell’antico emissario del lago Albano, per valutarne anche il ripristino funzionale. Ha quindi preso l'avvio ufficiale il PROGETTO ALBANUS, piano di studi tecnico scientifici promosso e coordinato dalla Federazione Speleologica "Hypogea - Ricerca e Valorizzazione Cavità Artificiali". I principali obiettivi sono l'esplorazione, la documentazione, l'acquisizione della topografia attuale, l'analisi delle tecniche di scavo e realizzazione, le analisi batteriologiche e geochimiche delle acque e dei limi, il ripristino della percorribilità interna e il ripristino dell’alimentazione dei vasconi in Loc. Le Mole di Castel Gandolfo.
The Albano drain outlet is the most famous among the various ones found in the Alban Hills, and it is also the only one of which something is known through historic sources. According to Livy, it dates back to the beginning of the 4th century B.C., and the Oracle of Delphi, which declared that the city of Veii would not be conquered (by the Romans) unless the Lake Albano was prevented from overflowing its banks. Also Dionysius of Alicarnassus (I,66) mentions Livy’s text, but at the same time suggests that the drain may be older. The study by Piranesi, full of technical details and beautiful engravings, greatly contributed to its fame. The tunnel is 1,450 m long. At present the Albano drain is the object of a three-year program of speleological studies (Albanus Project), carried out by Hypogea Federation in cooperation with the Superintendence for the Archeological Heritage of Lazio and the Castelli Romani Park. A film crew led by Massimo D'Alessandro is following all the investigation of the cavers of the Hypogea Federation, in order to make a documentary on the history and exploration of this ingenious hydraulic work of antiquity.
