Mural on village wall in the central Appenine town Tocco da Casauria depicting the installation of two Riva-Calzoni wind turbines 1992. Circa late 1990s. This photo was likely taken in 1998 during a tour of Italian wind sites.
Tocco is a small town of 2,800 in the province of Pescara within the Abruzzo region.
The turbines were replaced in 2006 with two Enercon E48s and another two E48s were added in 2009.
This entry is also filed under Tourism, Boosterism, & Local Identity in Photos. I’ve created a separate file for it due to recent interest in Riva Calzoni wind turbines.
