The Acquacheta is a stream in the province of Forlì-Cesena, Romagna, northern Italy. An affluent of the Montone in San Benedetto in Alpe, it is famous because it was mentioned by Dante Alighieri in his Divine Comedy (Inferno, XVI, 94–102).

Green trees surround a high waterfall with moss around the rocks, into a green pool.
