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.

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 fivesided layout recalling the constellation Leo, which also for this reason and
much like Lake Trasimeno, is considered a sacred and mysterious place.

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.

Torre dei Lambardi
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; Monte Colognola, 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.
Tel. +39 0758473078
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 from March to September.

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.

Museum Route
Nestled in the medieval Rocca, the Boat Museum features exhibits of lake
vessels – part of a special ALLI (Atlante Linguistico dei Laghi Italiani)
project - and also has a room dedicated to the ancient art of Umbrian
embroidery, an art supported by the Marchesa Ranieri of Sorbello through
a school bearing her name. From the Rocca the tour leads the visitor
to the Church of San Cristoforo, which dates to the VIII and IX centuries
and houses some important frescoes. Tours can also take visitors to the
Church of the Madonna dell’Oliveto, a sanctuary built in the late 1500s.

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).

The circuit is made up of three of the most important historical-artistic
and monumental sites of the city. The celebrated Adoration of the
Magi (1504) by Pietro Vannucci, known as Il Perugino, hangs in
the Oratorio di Santa Maria dei Bianchi, while the last of his great
works, the Deposition of the Cross (1517) is at the Museo Civico
Diocesano di Santa Maria dei Servi. The last site of major importance
on the tour is the 16th century Palazzo della Corgna, designed by
Galeazzo Alessi grotesque decorations by Niccolò Circignani, known

Città della Pieve sits at 508m above sea level and
looks out over the Valdichiana and Lake Trasimeno. The
town has all the characteristics of a border town, with
harmonious architectural influences from Tuscany, Lazio
and, of course, Umbria. The surrounding landscape was
the one that inspired native son Pietro Vannucci (ca.1450
-1523), known as “Il Perugino”, who left behind many
paintings, starting with is celebrated Adoration of the
Magi in the Oratorio di Santa Maria dei Bianchi (1).
The historical centre boasts Sienese-style buildings that date
back to the early 1200s, buildings with Roman influence
and others that date anywhere from the Renaissance to
Neoclassical. Things to see: Cathedral (2) ancient church
building (with baptism font) of Longobard origin. Civic
Tower (2) - Romanesque tower from the 12th century.
Palazzo della Corgna (3) - designed by Galeazzo Alessi for
the family of Ascanio della Corgna. Santa Maria dei Servi
(4). A church of the order of the Handmaidens of Maria,
today the Diocesan Museum. The Rocca (5) (or Fortress)
fortification built in 1326. The Church of Saint Augustine
(6) Built in the Gothic style in the late 13th century and
modified in the late 18th century in Neoclassical style.

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.

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 Pomarancio, Lombardelli, Alfani and many more...

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.

Museo Paleontologico “Luigi Boldrini” - Pietrafitta
This museum is named after Luigi Boldrini, an archaeologist who, while
inspecting several local sites in the 1960s, began to gather samples
for the first local paleontological collection. This collection of fossil
remains from the Quaternary lignite sites of Pietrafitta encompasses
several thousand pieces and is one of the most important collections
of its genre in Europe.

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
(2). Glassmaking was an important activity in this town
starting in the Middle Ages, and it is still a fundamental part
of the local economy.

Land of Etruscan- Roman Civilisation
Lake Trasimeno has been at the centre of the great historical events of Italy since time immemorial thanks to its location half way between Rome and Florence. Enchanting views made up of overlapping green
hills and the presence of great civilisations have always animated this land. The Etruscans, for example, considered Trasimeno the crossroads between their main cities of Cortona, Perugia and Chiusi. Each of
these is home to important traces of this past civilisation in the form of funerary urns, country houses and several churches, which were probably built in the very same places of worship once frequented by the
Etruscans. An especially important find in San Donnino (Città della Pieve), in October 2015, involves an Etruscan tomb that seems to date to the III century B.C.E. The underground burial place has a rectangular
layout and contains two large sarcophagi, as well as funerary urns that will soon be on exhibit at the Santa Maria dei Servi Museum in Città della Pieve.

Land of Churches and Castles
The Trasimeno area has a strong spiritual vocation and is home to a rich array of churches, sanctuaries and convents dating to the XV and XVI centuries, many of which have a Marian dedication, and which
apart from being the guardians of valuable works of art, also recount a rural world in search of protection. This same protection and sense of defense, one of man’s most basic needs, can be felt in the many
castles, fortresses, towers and fortified hamlets that dot every corner of this land, a reminder of its rich and varied history.

ANNIBALE (247 B.C. - 183 B.C.)
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.

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
site, a large flat stone that legend tells us is
where the saint slept.

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.

Tuoro sul Trasimeno - Chiesa di 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 Study
Centre with accommodations, 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 bike paths of Trasimeno
This bike route can be done only with a mountain bike or on foot and goes over dirt tracks linked together
with stretches of paved roads.
It is located between Castiglione del Lago and La Frusta (Sant’Arcangelo) and covers about half of the
lake’s perimeter. In the towns of Passignano, Torricella and San Feliciano the route goes over existing
streets.
Some stretches of the path may be flooded due to the extraordinary high water level of the Lake this year.
Alternative routes are well marked.

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.
25
Local delicacies,
traditions and culinary creativity
An initiative promoted by the URAT consortium of Trasimeno tourist operators, the Local
Tourism System, the Wine Roads Association
and all the food producers who support the
enhancement and promotion of local culinary
specialities and the typical products of the
Trasimeno area. The restaurants taking part
in this initiative guarantee all the quality and
professional dedication that have given local
cuisine its unique identity.

Certified Environmental Quality
Since 2006, Trasimeno Lake has been associated with Living Lakes, a
network of 52 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”.
An efficient monitoring system to safeguard the quality
of the environment
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.
www.arpa.umbria.it
The Touring Club and Environmental League’s Guida Blu, a guide to
seaside resorts and lake destinations for vacations in environmentally
friendly places, has once again awarded Castiglione del Lago, Magione,
Passignano and Tuoro sul Trasimeno with the much vaunted 4-Sails
rating in 2015.
The Touring Club Italiano Orange Flag
The “Bandiera Arancione” is a seal of environmental and tourism excellence awarded by the Italian Touring Club to smaller towns and villages which
distinguish themselves for the quality of their hospitality. In the Trasimeno
area, Città della Pieve and Panicale earned this high honour from among
the many fascinating hamlets and villages that dot the region.
Italy’s Prettiest Villages
The Italian organisation known as the “I Borghi più Belli d’Italia” came
about to raise awareness of the great historical, artistic, environmental and
cultural heritage the small towns and hamlets of this country represent.
In the Trasimeno area, Castiglione del Lago, Panicale and Paciano were
admitted as members of this exclusive club, further proof of the liveability
of this region. Corciano, also in this area, has just earned membership.

Panicale offers a rich calendar of cultural
and tourist events throughout the year:
shows at Teatro Caporali, concerts all
over the area (including Musica Insieme
Panicale and Festival Morettini), light
opera at the PanOpera Festival and such
traditional events as the Grape Harvest Festival, Olive Oil Festival, the Tulle festival
and the Palio of Tavernelle, just to name
a few. Folklore, traditions, music, art and
fine food and wine await you in the land of
Boldrino and Masolino!
Strasimeno is the Park of Trasimeno’s ultra-marathon. 58 kilometres long, the race
runs around the entire shoreline of Lake
Trasimeno, starting and, of course, ending
in Castiglione del Lago. This important
race has attracted an increasing number
of participants over the years and is now
one of the season’s most important “ultra”
races in Italy. It marks the beginning of the
tourism season in this region where hospitality ranks as one its most distinguishing
characteristics.
Every year, in the evocative setting of the basement of the Palazzo Orca, “living paintings” can
be admired which depict scenes of the Passion,
Death and Resurrection of Christ. Each of the six
“paintings” portrays one particular scene: the Last
Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane, Ecce Homo,
the Flagellation, the Pietà and Resurrection. The
lighting is provided by torches and candles held
by some forty figures. The “paintings” are “reproductions” of 16 and 17th century works of Italian
art.
The Tulip Festival has been celebrated
every April since 1956. It is organized by
the Castiglione del Lago pro-loco association and attracts thousands of visitors every
year. The event features an opening-day
parade of allegorical floats decorated with
thousands of colourful tulips by the five
neighborhoods. Around town the tavernas
open their doors and the streets are enlivened with local street actors playing ancient
games in vintage costumes. Tulip Palio.

June - September
This annual international meeting at the Castiglione del Lago airport features some 1500 light
aircraft and attracts a wide range of visitors enamored of flight in its many forms. There will be
some 100 stands offering all sorts of products
and equipment for flying, an air show including
aerial acrobatics and many aircraft on the ground
to see from up close. Visitors, even those who
have never flown before, can also climb in a plane
and enjoy a flight.
At Castiglione del Lago, on the 1st of May weekend in 1984, hundreds of kite enthusiasts gathered from around the world to “paint the sky”
and an event was born. Every year at the same
time thousands of kites and hot-air balloons fly
high in the sky in a spectacular show of colours
and shapes, all framed by the beauty of the surrounding landscape and imbued with the traditional values of the land.
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.
The Trasimeno Book Island is an event
aimed at promoting books and reading
and takes place on Isola Maggiore. It was
organised by the Isola del Libro Association founded by book seller Italo Marri and
the first edition of this event in September
2013 was very well received by an enthusiastic public.
Literary cafés, musical events, exhibitions
and much more made up this cultural
happening, and highlights included talks
by famous authors, journalists and figures
from the world of culture and politics.

This very beautiful and particular yearly celebration is in honour of St. Luigi Gonzaga, Patron of

had involved adorning the main street of the city
with “paintings” made with colourful and fragrant
flower petals. The evening before the festival,
the inhabitants of the Casalino quarter cover the
pavement of via Pietro Vannucci with carpets of
perfectly placed flower petals for all to admire until
the following evening. The event is enlivened with
music.
This classical music festival is directed by the renowned Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt. Concerts
are held in the Castle, Saint Peter’s Abbey in Perugia and Gubbio’s Church of San Domenico and
feature extraordinary musicians who, during the
weeklong festival, offer their audiences some of
the world’s greatest music. The international press
has ranked this festival as “one of the most prestigious festivals in Europe” and as a “small great
festival”.
The Palio delle Barche, or competition of
the boats, is an historical reenactment of
the power struggle between two important
Perugian families: the Baglioni and the
Oddi. The spectacular race takes place on
land and on the lake waters on the last
Sunday of July. The burning of the castle
is particularly thrilling, as are the fireworks
over the lake, and both attract thousands
of visitors from all over. During the event
the local tavernas open their doors to offer
the finest of local culinary tradition.
In 2015 this festival will celebrate its 19th edition.
The 11 concerts that make up the festival take place in the charming Piazza Sant’Agostino in Castel
Rigone and feature trios, quartets and both national and international orchestras with soloists of
great renown. The evening dedicated to voice is
one of the most popular and visitors flock from all

Vineyards have been cultivated on the hills surrounding Lake Trasimeno since time immemorial,
thriving in the mild climate of the lake and the optimum exposure to the sun the slopes provide
to the vines, the many microclimates an ideal habitat for a variety of different types of wine
grapes. Over the years, there has been a marked improvement in the quality and variety of the
wine production which has resulted in new Colli del Trasimeno wines: four whites (Dry, Select
White, Sparkling and Vinsanto), five reds (Red, Select Red, Red Reserve, Sparkling and Novello),
a Spumante Classico and a selection of single varietals (Grechetto, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon,
Gamay, Merlot Riserva, Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva and Gamay Riserva).
The Consorzio Tutela Vini Colli del Trasimeno (Trasimeno Wine Consortium) was founded in
January of 1997, its logo depicting the gently rolling hills that surround the Lake. The aim of
the Consortium, which is supported by contributions from the winemakers who for years have
committed themselves to the improvement of their product, is to increase awareness the fine
quality of the wines made here.

In the area
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.
World capital of Artistic Ceramics
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.
