Turano Resort<\/a><\/strong> in Colle di Tora<\/strong> is a hotel with an ancient family tradition, bringing with it a lot of history.
\nIn 1948, Colle di Tora, part of Castel di Tora, became an independent municipality, on the initiative and will of the Director Rinaldo De Sanctis<\/strong>, who then went on to become the first mayor with a majority of 92%.
\nThe Director – Mayor Rinaldo<\/strong>, was a very socially committed man and a lover of his land. Very quickly, he came up with the idea of constructing a hotel and put the works in place for it. It was sited on land at the beginning of the village, called “Capocolle<\/strong>\u201d, with the intention of accomodating the numerous travellers and prestigious personalities who frequented Colle di Tora for its fresh, clean air.<\/p>\n

The project and the architectural design were written by his friend Arduino Angelucci<\/strong>, who also designed the cave “Thiora<\/strong>“, which still exists.
\nHe was a well-known artist from Rieti, known for his painting of social realism.<\/p>\n

For a whole twenty years, the hotel on Lago del Turano<\/strong><\/a>, named “Chalet del Lago<\/strong>“, never stopped its service, and in 1959 it was renovated and enlarged, including the building of a large restaurant.
\nIn fact, both the hotel and the restaurant in the early 60’s changed a lot, and expanded to a wider and more heterogeneous clientele.<\/p>\n

From 1948 to 1988 the Hotel and Restaurant were always open, personally managed by Francesco<\/strong> and Lalla De Sanctis<\/strong>, sons of Rinaldo<\/strong>.
\nThe people who stayed there went fishing, hunting and went on walks to relax.<\/p>\n

The hotel was at the center of the village, it was a meeting point where many people met on the veranda to enjoy the beautiful view of the lake.
\nIn the entrance hall there was a bar with a juke box and music every night.
\nBelow, there was the dance floor next to the lake.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
