Once known as Lake of Carinola, it is a volcanic lake at the foot of mount Massico, in the municipality of Falciano del Massico.
It rises at the foot of Mounts Trebulani, at 86 meters above sea level, in the territory of Calvi Risorta.
Although its name derives from the Oscan word tifata, which means holm oak, Mount Tifata is largely barren, except for the woods surrounding the northern side.
For the ancients, it was the river of the myth, which gave forgetfulness to whoever drunk its water.
