The Fucine Inlet is a Neo-Classical style work built by using local stone blocks for the main body of the building, carved out of the quarries that were located in the mountainous territory of Capistrello. It develops on two levels, the lower one below the plane of site which is almost high and contains the safety systems, and the higher one which houses the engine-room. In the centre, on a block rises the about statue in local stone depicting the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which was re-built after the 1915 earthquake. A crescent of moon was fixed at its base, while a twelve-star crown lies upon the Virgin's head. The bronze elements call up the Biblical Apocalypse. Of the original statue, which collapsed following the 1915 Marsica earthquake, only some fragments remain, which are exposed in the park of Villa Torlonia. The so-called "Madonnone dell'Incile" (literally, "Big Madonna of the Inlet") rises above the three-arched bridge of the sluice gates.
