Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Lago di Candia” as lake in Metropolitan City of Turin, Piedmont, Italy. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA valuable geographic starting point for tracing changing names, boundaries, uses and administrative responsibility. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1995, 2007—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Lago, Candia and lake can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as lake in Metropolitan City of Turin, Piedmont, Italy. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

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 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q962235. Authority coordinates are 45.333, 7.883. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995 and 2007.

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.
