Theres also a free spirit social video on you tube on the place as well, good watch with a bit more footage of the lodge and other swims.

Hi, I live here in Italy and regulalry fish, Ive translated the following article for you the best i can from Italian, Its not perfect but i think you will get and idea...
Grazie e Buenvenuto in Italia
Parco Del Brenta: a pearl set in the North East of Italy, in more detail we are talking about a former gravel pit of 145,000 square meters, located in Fontaniva, in the province of Padova, to be more precise, in via bell. To underline that we are talking about a lake of GETAPESCA certified sport fishing, no small feat in these times.
FISHING APPROACH
The approach to the lake generally follows the fixed points, even though almost every station is a story in itself.
After nearly 10 years of fishing in these waters, I can try to speak my mind on the best approach to deal with these waters.
I use a Monofilament line ranging from 0.35 to 0.40mm depending on the conditions that I'm going to deal with, and then by casting distance and the presence of underwater obstacles.
Instead of using the classic leadcore, I prefer to use a fluorocarbon leader, a diameter of between 0.40 and 0,60mm. Because the lake bottom is mostly hard and composed of gravel, then an abrasion-resistant material such as fluorocarbon is the ideal choice.
The fluorocarbon is a good choice, given the transparency of the water of the Brenta lake.
Alternatively, a soft braid of 35lb, light in color, is the winning choice for a compromise on softness / abrasion resistance.
Finally as regards the hooks, personally I use to stem models long or curved back, measuring from 4 to 6, depending of location, presence of barriers, time of year, etc ...
Baiting AND BAIT
Not being able to use radio-controlled boat , we'll have baiting from the shore. So let us arm ourselves with a spomb for chumming remotely with our mix.
Personally I like to use a mixture created with a bit of everything: pellets of mixed sizes and flavors, sweet corn, spicy hemp, tigernuts, hemp flour, liquid and attractive boilies crumbled and whole.
As for the rig, my personal preference goes towards balanced, single or double boilies or wafter balanced and a balanced particle such as a tigernut.
Lately many of my friends get excellent results with plastic bait or fake baits.
All these baits would i would use would be under the diameter of 16-18mm, especially in winter would not go beyond 14mm.
STATIONS
Now let's review one by one the locations and hot spots of each:
Point 1
It is one of the items most requested, because this offers many interesting spots where to cast our rigs.
In detail, straight ahead at about 60-70m we find an old sunken road, interesting area of passage of carp.A great spot to deal with a good line and a leader fluorocarbon, given the large amount of stones and pebbles that can easily cut our line .Also about 30m turns out to be a great spot, convenient for baiting given the distance. For those who fish on the left, with a good cast of about 70-80m, you can fish near the plateau, another exceptional spot in the springtime.
Point 2
A fairly narrow area, but still offers interesting ideas, such as fishing at the foot of the plateau that we have to cast to about 70m and the wood and reeds to our left, great night spots.
Point 3
Even here we can easily catch at the top and at the base of the plateau which is right in front of us at the usual distance of 80m.The interest also on the right swim and reeds swim.
Point 4
Similar to the third position just described, those who fish on the right casts to the base of the plateau and a reed in the immediate swim on our right.
location 5-6
Two very similar positions, here you are fishing in the most deep part of the lake, in front of us we find up to 8meters of depth. Optimal in winter zone. also consider the two swims immediate left and right, especially at night.
Point 7
Another location that winter always gives satisfaction, here are fishing straight ahead about 40m, and along the swim to the right, a winter hot spot has always taken into account.
Point 8
very similar to the 7, but here we use the depth in front of us, at the launch of the water .Another 8-9m depth, cast to 40-50m where we find hot spots, are the woodshed swim immediate left and the suncken tree always present good spots.
terminal 9-10
classical stations from "few but large"! Especially in winter these two swims can give great satisfaction, fishing in front of us deeply, in the range of 8-9m. Two stations I would call a jolly winter!
Point 11
we are at the entrance of the large loop formed by the previously described . Here stations the usual plateau which is located at a cast to about 60-70m.
Those, however who are fishing to the right, you find the tip of the of the loop just described.
Point 12
3 station similar to like fishing setup, or you point on the plateau that we find to 80m cast .Interesting also gully that are located about 30-40m from the post office, right in front of us.Also the most deep area to our right deserves our attention, especially in winter.
Point 13
Here we fish in front of us to about 40m, where there is a good area of passage for travelling carp, little more than 100m we find the foundations of the sunken road, a great spot to deal always with care, keeping in mind that if leaving the carp were to exceed half of the sunken road, inevitably it will cut net our main line scraping against the hard surface of the road itself (I speak from experience!), so watch out! Nightime by also assessing the immediate right swim, where there is a small woodshed.

Thanks for taking the time to do this, I've got two trips booked. One in station 15 and the other has 16 and 17. Do you have any advice on these two swims?
Thanks

Have a look at Free spirit trip to parco on YouTube. Hutch was fishing peg 15 on it and rinsed it. I think Dave (Spomb) fished 16 or 17 on it too.
kev Ellis fished 15 on his video too.
When are you going?

Cheers for that mate, I've watched them now and jeeeeesus Christ they did rinse it! 😂
I'm not expecting anything like that but a few fish would be good
I'm going peg 15 July this year and then I've got 16 & 17 for October next year. I tried to get peg one on the point but it's totally stitched up now.
