Rumia Lake (Italian: Laghetto Rumia) is a small artificial lake within the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria. The lake is located on Aspromonte, in San Roberto, with an altitude of about 1,300 m (4,300 ft) and roughly 25 km (16 mi) from the coastline.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Rumia Lake” as lake in Italy. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Rumia, Lake and lake.

Editorial reviewMost useful as a place-based finding aid connecting the present description to earlier jurisdictions, maps and built evidence. The current 44-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Rumia, Lake and lake providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Rumia Lake”, the useful work is to connect “lake in Italy” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

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 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3825774. Authority coordinates are 38.181, 15.847. 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.
