There were cars wrecks, all kinds of garbage, they have cleaned it all up now after two years of long work.

LEAD IN:
If you are thinking of holidaying in Italy, forget "Under the Tuscan Sun" and lounging around olive groves sipping white wine.
Why not try an adrenalin high under the Marmore Falls, a man-made waterfall created by the Romans.
STORYLINE:
Daredevils paddle hard against currents.
It is not too long before the white water rapids send their dinghy flying several metres downstream.
This is the Cascate delle Marmore or Marmore Waterfalls, the highest man made waterfall in Europe.
Adventurers prepare for the descent, they will pummel down three cascaded levels for 165 meters (180 yards).
For Rafting Marmore guide and manager, Camillo Dall'Oglio, "the boarding area is the most beautiful and unique part."
"It is one of the most beautiful in the world. We depart from such a high waterfall, the Marmore waterfalls, which is the highest in Europe. Only here and at the Victoria waterfalls on the Zambesi river you can have something similar. And then the river that follows. A tropical canyon, with very tropical vegetation due to the humidity of this place."
But this is not for the faint-hearted.
At any moment you could be thrust from your dinghy and taken by the currents.
The Nera river has not always been an extreme water sports shrine.
Until the 80's it was providing water to an important industrial area of the city of Terni.
This led to mounting rubbish, polluting the area's waters.
"Between the '80s and '90s, my father Pietro and my uncle Giovanni Dall'Oglio, came here to the Marmore waterfalls. They used to be extreme river sports enthusiasts in the '70s. They realized that this amazing spot was not appreciated and nobody was giving it the value it deserved, " explains Dall'Oglio.
"It was a sort of garbage dump, as, unfortunately, sometimes this happens in Italy. There were cars wrecks, all kinds of garbage."
Dall'Oglio says it took two years for his father and uncle to clean up the banks of the river and create paths and trails around the waterfalls.
Their work prepared the terrain for the water sports project.
"This proved to be a forward-thinking idea because from that moment onwards we started doing rafting here."
Today, the Marmore Rafting centre is one of the biggest and busiest in Europe.
From kayaking to white river rafting, the Dall'Oglio family made a green business out of their passion.
Visitor, Barbara Battaglia was a little apprehensive before setting off.
But after completion she has, "no fear, I must say, I had some preoccupation before doing it, but it is feasible and I will bring my kids."
Lebanese visitor, Talal Khrais, says, "it was an amazing adventure, just 100 kilometres (62 miles) from Rome. It is a must-see. You can go along the river, jump in the waterfalls. Something you can't miss."
The river experience can be exciting and scary at the same time, especially on the steepest rapids.
That's why visitors are provided with a thorough safety briefing and with helmets, life-jackets, wet-suits and protections.
"I don't think we were scared. We had a very good trainer in our boat. The most exciting.. the biggest surprise was actually going down to the river because you are up here and it is so hot and then you get down there and everything is cool. That surprised me," explains Max Fremmer, a visitor from the Nederlands.
Large friendship groups, extreme sports lovers and companies looking for team-building experiences are also regular visitors.
Isabella Bari, is here for her bachelorette party, "I did not have a clue about it. I discovered it only once here," she says.
And if you want to go solo, you can take a river walk or a hydro-speed board – a small individual soft board.
Michelle Zaalberg, a visitor from Nederlands, has just tried a hydro-speed board.
"Just do it, just do it. Just overcome your fears and face it," she says.
The cascades are controlled by a dam run by ERG power company.
An employee opens the barriers blocking the Velino river twice a day, allowing the waterfalls to be fed into the Nera river.
Not before long the water will come crashing down, creating idyllic conditions for these adrenaline junkies.
