Agnel Lake is a lake at Ceresole Reale in the Province of Turin, Piedmont, Italy, near the Nivolet Pass. The reservoir on the Orco river is located at an elevation of 2,300 m (7,500 ft), close to Serrù Lake. A man-made channel which starts from Agnel connects it to Serrù Lake and Ceresole Lake.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Agnel Lake” is lake in the Province of Turin, Italy. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Agnel, Lake and lake, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewMost useful as a place-based finding aid connecting the present description to earlier jurisdictions, maps and built evidence. The current 54-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Agnel, Lake and lake is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “lake in the Province of Turin, Italy” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3825617. Authority coordinates are 45.471, 7.139. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
