This article seems to be merged into Avernus.--Pere prlpz 08:52, 9 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. There is a rationale for two articles, but not one for the watery bit of Lake Avernus and one for the dry bit: that is like two articles on San Francisco Bay - one for the cities and one for the water? Why not Averno (Italian WP is correct, local practice prefers lago Averno rather than d'Averno) for the modern gazetteer to the place in Italy and what the eye can see there: crater , lake, cafe and Roman ruins, plus post-Roman history (Borboni), but Avernus for the history of the Roman navy, Roman constructions, Virgil's literature and classical concepts of the spiritual (the gateway to the Underworld)?
