An extraordinary journey awaits you among the gently rolling hills and in the eight lovely villages
typical of the border area between Umbria and Tuscany. A landscape blessed with the dazzling blue
hues of the lake, with little towns steeped in art, history, fine food and centuries of cultural traditions.
The pace of life along the shores of Lake Trasimeno “is slow”, peaceful, it’s where everyone knows one
another and the piazzas are still any town’s most important meeting place.
The result is the finely balanced harmony which makes this region so unique that even the Etruscans
saw it as an earthly version of heaven itself, a land of ‘fine living’ where hospitality and warmth are
heartfelt and where its convenient location lets visitors easily reach all of Central Italy’s most beautiful
art cities: Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio, Siena, Florence, Orvieto and Rome.

Since 2006, Trasimeno Lake has been associated with Living Lakes, a network of 29 lakes all over the
world which has been recognised by the UN for its efforts in the field of the sustainable growth of important
lakes, wetlands and other sweet-water bodies. As a recognition of the efforts towards adhering to the standards that guarantee quality management and services that respect the environment, a seal of quality has
been created called the “Manifesto Ambientale”.
La Bandiera Arancione awarded by the Touring Club Italiano
An efficient monitoring system to safeguard the quality of the environment
I Borghi più belli d’Italia
The quality of the environment is under the constant and vigilant eye of the ARPA (the Regional Authority for
Environmental Protection), who takes samples and analyses the various parameters of air, water and earth
to make sure they conform to both national and European norms. The results of this data is fundamental in
the establishment of policies aimed at the improvement of the environment of the lake area.

This initiative came about to highlight the great historic,
cultural and environmental heritage inherent in Italy’s
smaller towns and villages. In the Trasimeno area
Castiglione del Lago, Panicale and Paciano have been
rewarded with this prestigious recognition. Corciano, not
far away, is also a member.

Castiglione del Lago is located at the northwestern extremity
of Umbria, its area blending into the Tuscany of Arezzo and
Siena. A large part of the lake and Polvese Island fall under
its control. Peaceful little corners give way to views of rare
beauty, the hues and tones of the countryside made even
more alluring by the tranquil little villages and the serene
backdrop of the water. Man and nature live in utmost
harmony here. The old centre of the town dominates the lake
from a hilltop which, in ancient times, was itself an island,
the fourth one of Lake Trasimeno. There are traces of an
ancient Etruscan sanctuary here and the Roman origins of
the town are clearly evident in the parallel streets which cut
through it lengthwise. Well worth a visit is the museum
and its Palazzo della Corgna (1) - with frescoes painted
by Il Pomarancio depicting the feats of Duke Ascanio della
Corgna - and the medieval Rocca del Leone (2) fortress
with its pentagonal structure mirroring the constellation after
which it was named, the mystical symbol of perfection. There
are several churches and sanctuaries in the area bearing
witness to the passage of history and man’s delicate and
loving hand can be clearly seen on the landscape beyon: the
area was the Etruscan’s granary, it is where the vineyards
and olive groves not only pleased the eye, but the palate too.

The palazzo built by Galeazzo Alessi in the mid-1500s at the behest
of the Marquis Ascanio della Corgna is a lovely example of Italian
Renaissance architecture and features a marvellous fresco cycle painted
by Niccolò’3f Circignani, known as Il Pomarancio, and an antiquarium
with Etruscan and Roman relics found in the surrounding areas. A narrow
walkway connects the Palazzo to the Rocca, a fortress built in 1247
with a five-sided layout recalling the constellation Leo, which also for
this reason and much like Lake Trasimeno, is considered a sacred and
mysterious place.

FESTA DEL LAGO
15 - 23 July
This festival is a showcase for the history and culture
enjoyed by those who live here. The programme does
not just highlight a geographical area, but the lives and
emotions of the inhabitants and visitors. It’s a walk
through beauty during which you’ll learn about legends of
nymphs and how Prince Trasimeno lost his life in the lake
searching for his love, Agilla.
RASSEGNA INTERNAZIONALE DEL
FOLKLORE
30 July and 15 August
Organised by the folklore group Agilla and Trasimeno, the
festival has earned itself a fine reputation both in Italy and
abroad. The idea behind it was to create cultural exchange
through folkloric music so that we can learn from the
musical and cultural traditions of a variety of different
countries. The concerts are held at the Rocca Medievale
and are then repeated in various venues throughout the
Trasimeno and Umbria region.

FESTIVAL DI MUSICA CLASSICA
Last ten days of August
The festival is held in the theatre of Palazzo della Corgna
in Castiglione del Lago and this year it will celebrate its
thirteenth edition. The event features performances by
musical groups and soloists of international renown. The
Musical Director is the Marchesa Marzia Zacchia Crispolti.

Torre dei Lambardi (2)
Built at the end of the XII century by
the Knights of the Order of the Hospitallers, also known as the Knights of
Malta, the Torre dei Lambardi sits high
above the town of Magione. The building was at the centre of fierce battles
throughout the XIV century and, until
the end of the Middle Ages, there were
recurring battles for the possession of
this extraordinary fortress. Today, the
tower is a panoramic place of great
charm and has been tastefully converted for use as a modern exhibition
centre for contemporary art exhibitions. Open from April to September
from Thursday to Sunday.

Magione
Ancient villages and unforgettable sunsets.
The eastern shore of Lake Trasimeno is dotted with towns and
villages steeped in history, it is where the sunsets are famed
for their haunting beauty: San Savino, with its medieval castle
and triangular tower; San Feliciano, a charming and authentic
fishing village; Montecolognola, a XIV century village with a
unique view of the lakeshore; Monte del Lago, an architectural
gem perched over the lake; Agello with its marvellous XI
century fortress; Sant’Arcangelo and Torricella, enchanting
welcoming towns.
Magione, the main city, is host to the Castle of the Knights
of Malta (1), built in the XII century as a fortified hospital.
Perfectly preserved, it can be visited only on request. A
wonderful inner courtyard hosts the Trasimeno Music Festival
in July, an international festival of classical music directed
by renowned Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt. Magione further
boasts the ancient the Lambardi Tower (2) fortress, built at the
turn of the XII and XIII centuries by the Knights of the Order of
the Hospitallers, which dominates the town with a magnificent
view over the surrounding countryside. Magione is also
dedicated to sports: motor racing, thanks to the autodromo
track, sailing along the shore, hiking in the hills, windsurfing,
quading through the woods and kite flying on the beaches.
Museo della Pesca (3) - San Feliciano
Located in the heart of San Feliciano, a charming fishing village which
has preserved its authenticity, the Museum is an ethno-anthropological
collection which tells of the “culture of water” in and around the
Trasimeno region. It offers a fascinating insight into the relationship
between man and the lake over the course of history. The museum is
located next to the still very active fishermen’s dock and the fishermen
themselves actively contributed to the realization of its interiors.
Open: April, May, June and September from Thursday through Sunday.
July and August from Tuesday through Sunday.
October, November, December, and March on Saturday and Sunday.

TRASIMENO MUSIC FESTIVAL
28 June - 4 July
The event is organised by the Trasimeno Music Festival
Association, which came about thanks to a collaboration
between the world famous Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt
and the city of Magione. Ms Hewitt, who is considered
one of the world’s greatest interpreters of Bach’s piano
compositions, fell in love with the beautiful landscapes
surrounding lake Trasimeno during a visit and this inspired
her to found a weeklong summer music festival. Tourists
from every corner of the earth come to enjoy performances
by great musicians of international fame, but also upcoming
talents, at the Castle of the Knights of Malta.

PALIO DEL GIOGO - SETTIMANA MAGIONESE
Mid-August
This competition takes place during what is known as
the Settimana Magionese, or Magione Week, and got its
inspiration from an old country tradition in which the farmers,
during the grain harvest, would race one another under the
yoke their oxen laboured under all day long in the fields.
The teams reflect the four town neighbourhoods: Casenuove,
Caserino, Comune and Station. An elegant parade of locals
in period costumes and props precedes the race.

This ancient fishing village, a real gem, is set on the shore
between the blue waters of the lake and the green of the
surrounding hills. Its location makes it a must for anyone
travelling between Umbria and Tuscany going over the
pass which gave Passignano its name: Passus Jani, or
Passo di Giano, the mythical god of ports. Just outside
of town visitors can go hiking, cycling, mountain biking
or horseback riding. Pieve di San Cristoforo (1), adjacent
to the cemetery on the outskirts of town, is the old parish
church of Passignano and dates to the X century.
The monumental church of the Madonna dell’Oliveto (2)
is in the west of town and was built in the XVI century.
The Rocca (3), or fortress, probably dates to when
the Longobards were here in the V-VI centuries. It has a
stunning view and is opened to the public for exhibitions,
concerts and plays. The Rocca also hosts the Boat
Museum. Perched on a hilltop just north of town is the
hamlet of Castel Rigone, a charming blend of nature and
culture ideal for visitors seeking an even more tranquil stay.
It also boasts the Santuario of Maria SS. dei Miracoli, a
masterpiece of Umbrian Renaissance architecture.

Irish-point lace-making was introduced on the island in the early 1900s by Marchioness Elena Guglielmi, and the local women became so adept at making beautiful
pieces that even the likes of the Tsarina of Russia and Queen Margaret wore their fine
pieces. In the 1960s the quality of the lace being made was such and the requests so
many that several island women decided to turn it into an industry. The Museum on
the island displays many of the most beautiful pieces made by these talented ladies,
many of whom can still be seen working together in the sun in front of their homes.

Tuoro sits at the northern end of Lake Trasimeno, on the
border between Umbria and Tuscany. Four itineraries which
trace the steps of history and art have been created here. The
most important of these itineraries is the one dedicated to
history and the archaeology of the Battle of Trasimeno (1).
It meanders through the countryside which saw one of the
bloodiest battles of the 2nd Punic War between the Romans
and the Carthaginians. It comprises twelve stops featuring
illustrated panels in four languages explaining the fine details
of the battle. The second itinerary is a nature walk through
the woods along the Rio River and takes you to the lovely
Vernazzano Tower (2), which leans dramatically to one side.
“Campo del Sole” (3) is the third itinerary and features 27
sculpted columns made of local stone, known as pietra serena,
set in a lovely park on the lakeshore. The fourth itinerary is
located on Isola Maggiore and is a journey into the past to
explore the stay of Saint Francis on the island and Renaissance
life there. It will also introduce visitors to the Irish-point lacemakers of the island. The itinerary also takes visitors to the
island’s lovely frescoed church of San Michele Arcangelo, to
the Documentation Centre and the lace-making museum (4).

INFIORATA DEL CORPUS DOMINI
17 - 18 June
PICCOLO FESTIVAL DEL RONDÒ
Second half of August
The traditional carpeting of the main street of several historic centres with large religious designs made of flower
petals, known as the Infiorata, is an increasingly popular
event animated with a strong spirit of volunteering as the
night is spent carefully laying the petals and leaves, donated by some of the major flower companies and gathered
over the preceding months, into intricate designs.
Classical music, violins, cellos and pianos, arias from
operas, monologues and conferences on the lovely panoramic Rondò Terrace overlooking the lake. The Rondò is
central and silent, it has exceptional acoustics and offers
audiences some amazing events of rare beauty and depth
during the last half of August. It was begun in 2014 and
public acclaim has ensured its continuing success.
This year the programme will include the open construction
of an opera guided by the English Raucous Rossini Orchestra.

Città della Pieve sits perched on a hilltop at 508m above
sea level and looks out over the Valdichiana and Lake
Trasimeno. The landscape is so remarkable here that it
inspired native painter Pietro Vannucci (a.k.a. Il Perugino,
1450 ca. 1523), who left behind some of his most
memorable works: the Adoration of the Magi at the Santa
Maria dei Bianchi (1), the Baptism of Christ and the
Madonna in Glory between Sts Gervasio and Protasio in
the cathedral, the Deposition from the Cross at the Museo
Civico Diocesano di Santa Maria dei Servi and a fresco
depicting St. Anthony Abate between Sts Paul the hermit
and Marcello at the Church of San Pietro.The historical
centre still features the original, Sienese-influenced layout
from the early XIII century, including renaissance and
neoclassical buildings constructed with a Roman flair.
Worth visiting:
Cathedral (2) Ancient Longobard parish church.
City Tower (2) Roman-style, dating to the XII century.
Palazzo della Corgna (3) designed by the architect
Galeazzo Alessi, residence of Ascanio della Corgna.
Santa Maria dei Servi (4) Church of the Ordine dei Servi
di Maria, now the Museo Civico Diocesano.
La Rocca (5) Fortress built in 1326.

This very beautiful and particular yearly celebration is
in honour of St. Luigi Gonzaga, Patron of the Casalino
Quarter, and since the Middle Ages had involved adorning
the main street of the city with “paintings” made with colourful and fragrant flower petals. The evening before the

bulls. Before the competition begins, some 700 locals, all
dressed in vintage clothing (dressed as Pietro Vannucci, the painter and native son, had depicted them) and
playing the roles of medieval farmers, lawyers, priests

fashion in the grandest of ways.
The Monumental Nativity Scene, set up in the underground
rooms of the renaissance Palazzo della Corgna, is a
series of scenes that lead up to the Nativity Scene and
is a tradition that has been handed down over many
years. It was first set up by the Terziere Castello and its
collaborators in 1967 to exalt the Umbrian nativity scene
tradition. Since then, thanks to the talent and creativity of
local artisans, the Nativity Scene of Città della Pieve has
become one of the most important ones in Italy, attracting
thousands of visitors every year. Opening hours:every day
from 10am to 12:30pm and again from 3pm to 7pm.

Paciano
Foto by Ilario Balestro
Kieran Mulvaney, author and environmentalist, described
Paciano to the Washington Post as follows: My first
impression, when I got here, is that if Hollywood ever
needed to shoot a film in a medieval village, this would be
the one. A visit to this lovely town should start in the heart
of the historical centre, at Palazzo Baldeschi which houses
the information office and TrasiMemo (1), located near the
Don Aldo Rossi museum (2). As one walks through the old
streets one is enchanted at every corner by the churches,
decorations depicting the Madonna, the little balconies and
small shops offering local delicacies and crafts, all of which,
together with the City Hall on Piazza della Repubblica
blend together seamlessly in a unique medieval way. Upon
leaving there are several nice walks and cultural stops,
like the Madonna della Stella Church (3) which houses
a delightful Mannerist fresco cycle which recounts a star
that comes to rest on the mantle of the Madonna. Coming
to this area also gives the visitor a unique opportunity to
discover precious yet often unknown cultural relics, to
taste local delicacies and enjoy breathtaking views when
walking along the Via Romea Germanica, which was traced
in 1200 when it lead from Stade in Germany to Rome, and
here connects Castiglione del Lago to Città della Pieve.

FESTA DELL’OLIO
November
The olive tree has been with us for thousands of years. It not
only makes the landscape an enchanting one, but it also provides us with one of the main ingredients of our local cuisine,
a beloved cuisine that has remained unaltered over time. The
festivities begin when the olives are harvested and pressed
into oil, during which time you can sample the different varieties of new oil drizzled on freshly roasted bread at the presses
and in the tavernas. The flavours are rich yet delicate, the
characteristic of extra-virgin olive oil, and pair beautifully with
the most exquisite and light culinary treats the area offers.

A natural terrace overlooking Lake Trasimeno, Panicale
is the birthplace of artists and leaders and retains all the
characteristics of a medieval castle, the structure perched on
Mount Petrarvella. The three ancient squares on three different
levels characterizes its layout like so many concentric
ellipses. The main square hosts a XV century well (turned
into a fountain in the 1900s ) and the impressive Collegiate
Church of San Michele (1), while the XIV century Palazzo
del Podestà (2) (home of the Historical Archives) was built
on the city’s most panoramic spot on Piazza Masolino,
and obviously boasts a breathtaking view. In addition to
being one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Panicale
has, since 2007, also earned the prestigious Orange Flag
from the Italian Touring Club for its important cultural and
landscape heritage, and for the many events it hosts: the
theatre season, music festivals, food festivals, embroidery
courses. The Renaissance left a significant artistic imprint
here through such men as Il Perugino, Raphael and G.
Battista Caporali, just to mention some the great masters of
that era. The nearby Mongiovino Sanctuary (3) is considered
one of the most important examples of Italian Mannerist
art. Designed by Rocco da Vicenza, it houses works by Il

Museo del Vetro
Inside the village of Piegaro there is
an imposing brick chimney which
marks the location of the ancient
glassmaking factory. Today it houses
the Glass Museum or Museo del Vetro. The building itself is a fine example of industrial archaeology and its
content tells the history of glassmaking in Piegaro from the Middle Ages
to the 20th century. The highlight of
the museum is its monument of molten glass, an homage to the industry
that made this town famous. The museum organizes various educational
activities for both adults and children.

The Piegaro area is rich in history and natural beauty.
There is much to be explored and discovered here: the
medieval village of Cibottola, with its nearby Convent
of San Bartolomeo (private) and the castles of Gaiche
(which dates back to before 1318) and Greppolischieto,
which have both been beautifully restored to their former
splendor. The lovely village of Castiglion Fosco is not far
and has a round tower dating to the 15th century. Near
Pietrafitta is the Abbey of the Seven Friars, which has a
lovely Romanesque church with a semi-interred crypt and
a monastery with a gorgeous courtyard. Here you can also
find a precious fossil collection, one of Europe’s richest and
most important paleontological finds now housed in the
Luigi Boldrini Paleontological Museum (1) in Pietrafitta. In
the historical centre of Piegaro there is also the beautifully
preserved Palazzo Misciattelli-Pallavicini (18th century)
and the ancient glass factory of Piegaro, which has been
beautifully restored and now houses the Glass Museum

25 - 28 May
For the first time ever, our small town will host the
Glass Festival with partners from Colle Val d’Elsa
(Tuscany) and Altare (Savona). Our museum
will be included in an interregional network and
therefore become increasingly specialized in the
art of glassmaking. The Festival will place the
ancient art of glassmaking at the centre of its
activities. There will be seminars, workshops,
classes in the working with glass and shows.
There will be exchanges of technique, sharing of
ideas, shows together, annual itinerant seminars
and even an exchange of secondary processes
that touch on popular traditions such as, in the
case of Piegaro, the wrapping of bottles in woven
straw. Glass will once again become the focus of
the Museum’s activity, creating a renewed interest
and curiosity that will make our region all the
more interesting.

Land of Etruscan/Roman Civilisation
Since the dawn of man, Trasimeno has been at the centre of Italy’s historical events because of its strategic location between Florence and Rome. Gorgeous scenery created by the poetry of the green hills and the
buildings of Etruscan and Roman origin can still be admired to this day. The former, for example, considered this lake as a crossroads that united the main cities of Cortona, Perugia and Chiusi, and relics such
as funerary urns, the foundations of country homes, gravesites and churches built on the remains of ancient temples have been discovered here over time. The latest discovery was revealed in October 2015, an
important Etruscan tomb found in San Donnino, just outside of Città della Pieve.
Three urns and two sarcophagi containing intact skeletons were found inside and tests reveal that they date from the middle of the IV century BCE to the early III century BCE.
The relics can be seen at the Museo Civico Diocesano di Santa Maria dei Servi.

Some consider this Carthaginian general
as the greatest general of all of antiquity.
As you approach Tuoro sul Trasimeno, you
can immediately get a sense of how ideal
this place must have been for the ambush
Hannibal lead which annihilated the battalions of the Roman consul Caio Flaminio
Nepote. Known as the Battle of Trasemene,
it was one of the bloodiest encounters of the
Second Punic War. At dawn on 24 June,
217 BC, some fifteen thousand Roman
soldiers lost their lives in just three hours
of fierce fighting. The memory of this battle
is kept alive in the Tuoro area with a fascinating archaeological route dotted with
plaques.
Fra’ GIOVANNI da PIAN del CARPINE
Born in Magione, Friar Giovanni was one
of St Francis’ first followers. An explorer
and missionary, he was sent out to travel
throughout Europe to spread the Franciscan
Order. He became famous for the long and
perilous journey he undertook all the way
to Mongolia to deliver a message of peace
from the Pope to the Great Khan in 1245,
several years before the more celebrated
Marco Polo embarked on his journey. He
wrote about his fascinating travels in his
Historia Mongalorium upon his return. This
painting is in the City Hall of the Consiglio
Comunale and can be seen when City Hall
is open.

SAN FRANCESCO
The founder of the religious order that still
bears his name, the Trasimeno area can
be considered at the centre of an itinerary
which links the places of the great saint.
Starting in Assisi - Santa Maria degli Angeli
all the way to the Verna Sanctuary outside
of Arezzo and the Convent of the Cells in
Cortona in Tuscany.During his wanderings,
Saint Francis came to Isola Maggiore for a
period of meditation in 1211. In memory of
this visit a church and a convent were built,
and there is a boulder, which can still today
be seen, which they say bears his footstep.
Not far from Castel Rigone is a pilgrimage

SANTA MARGHERITA
Born in 1247 at Laviano (Castiglione del
Lago), Saint Margaret was a woman of incomparable inner strength and considered
the “third light” of the Franciscan tradition.
After various trying episodes, she moved to
Cortona and became a Franciscan Tertiary.
Her conversion, like a Novella Maddalena
(Pope Benedict XVI), took place near an
oak tree known as del Pentimento just outside of I Giorgi (Castiglione del Lago). She
was a maker of peace between the warring
local Guelphs and the Ghibellines and
founded the congregation of the Poverelle
and a hospital for the poor.

PIETRO VANNUCCI “IL PERUGINO”
The best-known artist of his time, Pietro
Vannucci, also known as “Il Perugino”,
was, among others, also the teacher of
Raphael. Born in Città della Pieve, his
work can be found in the most important
museums the world over. In Città della
Pieve one can still admire his Adoration of
the Magi featuring a procession of knights
that disappears into the vast landscapes he
loved to paint, in which the Trasimeno area
is easily recognised. In Panicale there is
the Martyrdom of St Sebastian depicting the
saint in ecstasy as he is pierced by arrows,
his face looking upwards to God in the heavens. Sought after by kings and noblemen,
Il Perugino was the founder of a new way
of painting, a style featuring clear-cut forms
and colours rich with light.

ASCANIO della CORGNA
A great adventurer, Ascanio della
Corgna’s name is tied to Città della
Pieve and Castiglione del Lago, both
of which are graced with grand palazzi
belonging to his family, where many
rooms are decorated with frescoes that
depict episodes from his life. Ascanio
della Corgna is a prime example of
a strong and vehement
adventurer
with, nonetheless, a broad and gentle
humanist streak. He fought in all of his
era’s wars, even as far away as Lepanto,
and was such an able swordsman that
thousands would come watch him duel,
as evidenced by a fresco in the family’s
Castiglione del Lago palace.

GERARDO DOTTORI
Born in Perugia in 1884, Gerardo Dottori is a central
figure of Futurism in art, the most significant Italian
art trend of the XX century. He was one of the most
important exponents of aeropainting, a special way
of portraying mystical landscapes, mostly based on
Lake Trasimeno and Umbria, and, as Marinetti himself
wrote, “renewing the original intensity of Sacred
Art.” Among the works still in Umbria is the frescoed
assembly hall in the Municipal Building of Magione (in
particular the one in which Father Giovanni da Pian
del Carpine delivers a letter of peace from the Pope
to the Great Khan during a long journey that took him
all the way to Mongolia years before Marco Polo) and
those with a religious theme in several churches of
Magione, San Giovanni Battista, San Cristoforo (Monte
Sperello), Santa Maria Annunziata (Montecolognola)
and in Tuoro, Santa Maria Maddalena.

The Trasimeno region is rich with traces left by emblematic historical personages
CESARE BORGIA
The Italian Renaissance left many important traces in Magione in, for example,
the treatise of Niccolò Machiavelli in his
The Prince. Here he cites the Castle of
the Knights of Malta in Magione as the
theatre of one of one of the best-known
military conspiracies against Cesare Borgia, known as il Valentino. In 1502, he
narrowly avoided a plot that had been
organised against him by the lords of
various cities in Central Italy intent on
putting an end to his expansionary aims.
When Borgia heard of the plot, he very
handily befriended the very men that were
against him and then, having gathered
them together in a room at the Castle,
killed most of them and exiled the rest.
VITTORIA AGANOOR and Guido Pompilj
Vittoria Aganoor and Guido Pompilj are
the stars of a romantic yet tragic love
story that took place here at the turn of
the XX century. She was an Armenian
poet, he a local politician who saved
Lake Trasimeno from drying up. When
Vittoria arrived in Monte del Lago she
wrote about the beauty of the lake in
her poems. Considered the best known
poet of the 1800s in Italy, her style
recalls D’Annunzio and Leopardi. She
married Guido but then fell gravely ill and
died. He organised her funeral and then
committed suicide, and in the note he left
behind, asked to be buried next to her.

FRANCO RASETTI
When it comes to peace, one of the most memorable figures of this region was Franco Rasetti, a physicist and botanist born in Pozzuolo
Umbro (Castiglione del Lago), where an association dedicated to him has been set up with
a permanent exhibition and a bronze bust. He
frequented several universities, including one in
Berlin where he befriended Albert Einstein and
was one of the so-called Via Panisperna Boys,
young physicists under the guidance of Enrico
Fermi. However, when he saw that much of his
studies were oriented towards weapons research he abandoned physics and turned to botany.
“No good could ever come from the monstrous
weapons of destruction being created,” is how
Rasetti explained his decision, one that isolated
him from the rest of the scientific community.

The Park and its Islands
Il Parco del lago Trasimeno
Oasi Naturalistica La Valle - San Savino - Magione
Isola Maggiore
The largest of the six Regional Parks of Umbria, is one of the most
important wetlands areas in Europe for the presence of plant species, fauna and fish of great importance. The total silence and the
nature that it encompasses allows life to go on here without having to turn to artificial methods of preservation. It is truly unique.
The La Valle Oasis is the natural heart of the Trasimeno area: shallow water and extensive cane thickets make it an important rest stop and nesting
grounds for thousands of migrant birds. The Oasis is open all year round in
the morning (9am to 1pm) and in the afternoon (3pm to 6pm from October
through May and from 4pm to 8pm from June through September) and offers guided tours, audio tours and nature walks every Thursday and Saturday
morning from 15 June through 15 September. The Oasis has a 500m long
walkway over the marshland to the water’s edge where there is an observatory with 30 binoculars visitors may use. It also has a bird ringing station
that is open to the public on Saturday mornings as well as accommodations
for twelve with a kitchen.
Isola Maggiore is under the jurisdiction of Tuoro sul Trasimeno and is the only one of the three islands that has a
stable population. It still preserves the unique atmosphere of a 15th century fishing village. In 1211 Saint Francis
of Assisi came here at Lent to pray and fast in peace and
quiet, and there is now a lovely chapel dedicated to his
arrival on the island during a violent storm, marking the
place where he landed and knelt down in prayer. One of
the feathers in the cap of the island is the Irish-point lace
made by the local women. The Isola Maggiore Museum
Circuit indicates the most important places to see on the
island: Museo del Merletto, Chiesa di S. Michele Arcangelo, Casa del Capitano, Chiesa di S. Salvatore.
Aeroporto Eleuteri - Castiglione del Lago
This former military airport is named after the famous Umbrian
pilot Leopoldo Eleuteri and is now a pristine nature reserve covering some 100 hectares along the Lake Trasimeno shoreline.
It is the departure point for walking trails, horseback excursions
and cycling tracks, and boasts numerous observation areas
dedicated to the local fauna and flora.

Isola Polvese
Isola Minore
The largest of the three islands of the Lake, this one falls under the jurisdiction of Castiglione del Lago. It actually belongs to the Province of Perugia and is used all year round for tourism and environmental purposes. It is home to various historical buildings such as
the Church of San Secondo, the Olivetano Monastery, the Church of San Giuliano and a Castle dating to the XIV century. The island
also boasts the Porcinai Pond, an aquatic garden constructed there by Pietro Porcinai in the late 1950s. The island is a fine example
of sustainable environmental management and many educational activities and research activities are organised there. It has a Hostel
and centre with a meeting hall and classrooms.
This is the smallest of the three islands,
and not much is known about it. Privately owned, it is not inhabited. It falls
under the jurisdiction of Passignano sul
Trasimeno.

The Via Romea from Stade to Rome was first described in the early XIII century by the Abbot Alberto and is, practically
speaking, a succession of itineraries, with precise data on the places and distances, as well as road conditions, of
a round trip journey he made from Rome to Stade, in Germany, and back. In the Trasimeno region it covers an area
that includes Castiglione del Lago, Paciano and Città della Pieve.

Trasimeno Cycling Paths
The cycling route can be enjoyed only on mountain bikes or on foot and is composed of dirt roads
connected in certain places by normal roads.
The stretch between Castiglione del Lago – La Frusta (Sant’Arcangelo) is open and covers half of the
lake’s perimeter. In Passignano, Torricella and San Feliciano the path follows along city streets.
From the area of the airport of Castiglione del Lago there is an alternative connection to the old route,
which will be opened again soon after having been flooded by the rise of the Lake’s water level.
Other stretches around Sant’Arcangelo are being completed in order to eventually make the ring around
Trasimeno a fully cyclable one. One stretch may be opened during 2017, while the completion of the
ring will take place at a later date.
36
This initiative was conceived as a method to qualify and raise awareness of local produce and products made in the Trasimeno area. Restaurants that take part in the initiative
guarantee the quality and processing techniques which give the area cuisine it’s special identity and offer a menu that includes many seasonal traditional dishes. Most of the
main ingredients are locally bred or grown and the aim is to create a collaboration between the various operators to offer quality food and services to locals and visitors alike.

Food and Wine
The Saffron
of Città della Pieve
This magical plant is famous for
the beauty of its purple flower and
its crimson red stigmas which
dye everything a splendid yellow.
Today, saffron is mostly used in
cooking and some of the finest
local restaurants specialize in its
use.
There is now a consortium
dedicated to safeguarding saffron,
promoting its use and maintaining
high production standards so that
this local specialty will retain its
unusual typical characteristics.
Trasimeno Fish
Fish has been a vital source of
nutrition for the local people since
time immemorial. Today’s professional fishermen work together
united by a cooperative. The fish
they catch are regina carp, eel,
tench, royal bass, pike and silversides. The regina carp is best
cooked in porchetta and is Trasimeno’s best known fish. It roe is
used to make soups and as dressing for pasta dishes. The area’s
famous “tegamaccio”, which gets
its name from the crock pot in
which it is prepared, is a delicious
fish soup.
The Fagiolina of
Trasimeno
Cultivated here since the times
of the Etruscans and the Greeks,
this tiny bean thrives in the ideal
climate and terrain of Lake Trasimeno. It can be easily recognized by its small size and various
colours.The fagiolina is used by
gourmets and great chefs in both
traditional dishes and brand new
modern recipes. The Trasimeno
Fagiolina Consortium was founded in 2002 to safeguard its production and guarantee its quality,
and since 2002 it has been part
of the Slow Food.
Wine
Oil
Wine grapes have been cultivated
here on the hills of Trasimeno
since the days of the Etruscans.
The mild climate of Lake
Trasimeno and the slopes of the
hills that surround it offer the vines
perfect exposure to the sun.
The district is known for such
autochthonous
varieties
as
Grechetto – a ‘white’ grape that
makes straw-yellow wine with
flashes of light green – and
Gamay del Trasimeno – of the
Grenache family, a ‘black’ grape
that makes a garnet coloured
wine of varying intensity.
Olive oil is one of the Trasimeno
region’s oldest and most typical
products. Vast expanses of groves cloak the hillsides and characterise the landscape, offering
a fine quality extra virgin olive oil
that has been certified and guaranteed by the DOP (Denomination of Protected Origin) Umbria
seal and with the geographic Colli
del Trasimeno denomination. The
quality olive oils are made using
mostly the Dolce Agogia, Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo varietals.

The Trasimeno area is blessed with a favourable climate and gently rolling
hills, an area that has a very long tradition of wine making and has now
seen these wines rewarded with a DOC (Controlled Destination of Origin)
called Colli del Trasimeno. The production area is extensive and includes
the areas all around the lake where such prized white wine grapes like
Grechetto, Trebbiano and Chardonnay are grown, but also some fine
Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Ciliegiolo and Merlot, not to mention
the an autochthonous grape called Gamay del Trasimeno, which belongs
to the Grenache family and has been grown here since the 1600s. There
are also some fine rosé wines made within the district.

DERUTA: THE ART OF CERAMICS
The origins of Deruta remain a mystery, although Etruscan and Roman archaeological
remains dating to between the IV century BCE and the IV century CE, some of which
are on display in the atrium of City Hall, do offer some clues. What we do know is that
“diruta” means ruined, destroyed (as do its derivatives: ruta, rupta, direpta and druida).
The city boasts a rich past and the production of artistic as well as traditional ceramics have made
it famous the world over. Much of this heritage can still be seen in the town’s churches, the
facades of its buildings and the museum dedicated to the history of ceramics. One can see the
extraordinary level of this art by touring the many workshops and factories along almost every
street of Deruta, and watch the artisans at work on the various phases of ceramics production.
Not only, but the town is also dotted with many examples of the fine work done here.

THE REGIONAL MUSEUM OF CERAMICS IN DERUTA
This interesting museum is located in the renovated 14th century convent of San
Francesco in the centre of Deruta and is the oldest of its kind in all of Italy. Founded
in 1898, it holds more than 6000 pieces. The museum offers visitors an historical
tour that traces the evolution of the art of ceramics in Deruta from archaic times
to the present. There are several theme areas, such as the reconstruction of an
old pharmacy, the section dedicated to ceramic floors and those of votive tiles.
The museum is characterized by a unique four-storey metal tower which houses
various store rooms that can be visited by the public and a special room dedicated
to research.
The tour of the museum also includes the Archaeological Area of the San Salvatore
Kilns, buildings that date to the late 13th century and to the early 18th century
which were, fortunately, discovered in 2008. The Archaeological Area is linked to the
Museum via an underground tunnel.
CITY ART GALLERY
The Pinacoteca Comunale di Deruta has its seat in the 14th century Palazzo dei
Consoli. It houses a collection of art that includes a fresco done by Pietro Vannucci,
known as Il Perugino (Eterno and Santi Romano and Rocco), two works by Niccolò
di Liberatore also known as L’Alunno (Madonna dei Consoli and Gonfalone di
Sant’Antonio Abate), and the Franciscan Missal, a 13the century parchment, and
the Lione Pascoli collection.
SANCTUARY OF THE MADONNA DEI BAGNI
This sanctuary dates to the mid-1600s and houses more than 600 votive tiles of great historical, artistic and religious value all
made by Derutese artisans for the faithful in thanks for blessing bestowed upon them.
