History
The arch dam Luzzone was completed in 1963. In the years 1997–1998, its height was increased by 17m. [*Source Wikipedia*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lago_di_Luzzone) In 1999, the longest artificial climbing route in the world was attached to the dam wall with 165 metres (five pitches) and over 650 climbing holds and bolts.
