We look also to a continental divide. The water in the lake to the left, called Lago Bianco (white lake), will flow southward and to the mediterrian sea. The lake to the right is called Lago Nero (black lake) and leaves its water northward to the north sea.

But it's a artifical divide! Before 1927 the water of both lakes flows to the north. Than two walls, one at each end of the lake, was built to raise the level of the Lago Bianco. Now the its water goes to the south and powers the turbines of a power plant. One of the walls is visible slightly left of the center.
