Anil - Jun 11, 2020
The last time it was visible was in 1994.
According to CNN, a 12th-century village in Italian has been immersed underwater for approximately 25 years but now, the 'ghost town' is predicted to resurface very soon.

The village whose name is Fabbriche di Careggine is located in Lucca province, Tuscany. As informed by the local tourism board, in 1946, it was deluged for the building of a hydroelectric dam and Lake Vagli. The last time it was visible was in 1994, when the dam has not been filled with water.
Followed the building plan, all of the inhabitants in the town were then resettled in a new lakeside town namely Vagli di Sotto. The undamaged structures, including stone houses, a bridge, a cemetery, etc., were submerged under 34 million cubic meters of water and can only be seen when the dam is drained for maintenance.

Several local tourism officials said that the resurfacing has happened four times since the town was immersed: In 1958, 1974, 1983, and 1994.
Although the 'ghost town' was planned to be replaced by a hydroelectric dam, the local media reported that the authorities have been trying to make it come into view once again.
In 2015, a piece of news published by Italian newspaper La Repubblica also disclosed that the former mayor of neighboring Vagli di Sotto, Mario Puglia, called for the drainage of the lake and regarded tourism and local employment as a concern.
