Mefitis The archaeological site of
Ansanto Valley (''Valle d'Ansanto''), better known as "Mefite", is a sulphurous lake valley, few kilometres from the towns of
Villamaina and
Torella dei Lombardi. It was named after the ancient Italic goddess
Mefitis, venerated by the people of
Hirpini, and counts some ruins of a sanctuary of the 7th century BC. The little lake is formed by a pool of water, about deep, that boils as a result of the gas emissions of the subsoil, consisting primarily of
carbon dioxide and
sulfuric acid. Because of this poisonous emissions, the surrounding area is free of animals and vegetation. ==References==
