This is the portrait of an “environmentalist” in the widest sense of the word: a person who knew how to defend with all her intellectual resources the natural and historic heritage of Lake Bracciano and its territory.Angela Zucconi, founder of our journal “Tribuna del Lago” in 1980, was the guide and leading light for many who participated in the fight to save this marvelous - but fragile and threatened - lake and the beautiful towns around it. She died 17 November, 2000.This last edition of the journal which Angela began to put together before her death we dedicate to her.
