Places to see in ( Perugia - Italy ) Lake Trasimeno
Lake Trasimeno, also referred to as Trasimene or Thrasimene in English, is a lake in the province of Perugia, in the Umbria region of Italy. The lake is south of the river Po and north of the nearby river Tiber, has a surface area of 128 km2 (49.4 sq mi) and is the fourth for surface area in Italy. (It is slightly smaller than Lake Como.) Only two minor streams flow directly into the Lake and none flows out. The water level of the lake fluctuates significantly according to rainfall levels and the seasonal demands from the towns, villages and farms near the shore.
Trasimeno is shallow, muddy, and rich in fish, including pike, carp, and tench. During the last 10 years it has been 5 meters deep, on average. Lake Trasimeno is an endorheic body of water; it is an impounded lake that receives water but has no outlet. Other endorheic bodies of water include the Caspian Sea, Aral Sea, Utah's Great Salt Lake, and the Dead Sea. Evaporation can lead to a buildup of minerals in the water, resulting in saline conditions, making these lakes sensitive to pressures from pollution.
Half of Trasimeno is surrounded by hills, rich in olives that are an important agricultural resource. On the western shore, near Tuscany, there are vineyards, and fruit and vegetables are grown. The hills are much lower and the climate is warmer. Monte Subasio near Assisi, about 70 km (43 mi) to the east, and Monte Amiata, about 70 km (43 mi) to the west, can be seen. The vegetation includes pines, willows and poplars around the shores, many over 30 m tall.
There are three islands in the lake. The largest of these islands is Isola Polvese, almost 1 km2. The second largest, Isola Maggiore, is the only inhabited one. The small fishing village, which reached its height in the 14th century, today has only around thirty residents. Most of the buildings, including the ruins of a Franciscan monastery, date from the 14th century.
Maggiore is a 'hill', whereas Polvese is a more complex structure with plains and hills, and Minore resembles a sloped table. Minore is now uninhabited, but in the past had a village with over 500 residents. Many centuries ago, a castle with a pentagonal structure stood near the shore, near an Olivetan monastery. The castle still remains, and the ruins of the church and the monastery are almost totally preserved, despite the abandonment in the 17th century due to malaria. The malaria was eradicated only in the 1950s. There were other problems, since Trasimeno was fought over by Chiusi, Panicale, Perugia, and Florence.
There are castles all around Trasimeno, many in the center of small towns while others are isolated and in ruins. Castiglione del Lago, Passignano, Magione, Maggiore, and Polvese islands all have castles, while Zocco castle, Montali castle, and others are on hilltops.
The Guglielmi castle in Maggiore Isle was built in the late 19th century on the foundation of an old Franciscan church, and for many years was a popular place in the Trasimeno area. Until 1998 it was still visitable, then it was closed because the structure became dangerously unstable. It is now being restored by a new proprietor, but the work is far from completed.
Between Monte del Lago and S.Feliciano is Zocco castle, ruined for decades. It is privately owned but unmaintained. It is one of the biggest castles of the area and the only one that, inside its sandstone walls, has a still untouched medieval keep. Some years ago it was probably inhabited, as there is a building fitted with a TV antenna, but now its only entry is closed. The best-preserved parts are the eastern and the southern walls, increasingly endangered because the wall's faults are enlarging. The rest of the walls are mostly demolished or have fallen down. One of the southern towers has two enormous cracks in the middle.

Isola Maggiore - Lago Trasimeno- Discover Italy
Isola Maggiore is one of the three natural islands of Lake Trasimeno, in Umbria. is a fraction of the municipality of Tuoro sul Trasimeno in the province of Perugia.
The island has 15 inhabitants and has an area of 24 hectares, enclosed in a perimeter of 2 km. The island is connected to the mainland by a ferry service to the towns of Tuoro sul Trasimeno, Passignano sul Trasimeno and Castiglione del Lago.
The town is located in the western part of the island, extending from the pier along the main Via Guglielmi. A dense network of paths runs through the entire island, unraveling through a patch of olive, holm oak, pine, cypress, poplar and other Mediterranean varieties.
Despite the misleading name, the island is not the largest of Lake Trasimeno. In fact, in descending order of surface, we find first the Polvese, then the Maggiore and finally the Minor.
Guglielmi Castle Island Maggiore
The Guglielmi Castle, or Isabella Castle, is located in the southern part of the Isola Maggiore, one of the three islands in Trasimeno Lake in the province of Perugia, Umbria, Italy.
It was built as a summer residence, in 1887, by Senator Giacinto Guglielmi, Marquis of Vulci and Civitavecchia, in agreement with his wife Isabella, which was dedicated to the dwelling. In 1894 the Guglielmi organized a lavish inauguration: the building, years later, remained their property until 1975 and passed under another administration in 1990. In 2010 the company which had purchased the complex and started the restoration declared bankruptcy. In 2014 the castle was offered at auction last time but this was not quorate. The asking price was 7.6 million.

Guglielmi castle, Lake Trasimeno, Italy
Memories of our time in Italy last year. We visited the Guglielmi castle, located on the island Maggiore in Lake Trasimeno. The island is in the province of Perugia, in the Umbria region of Italy.
We were in the lake region and decided to just hop on the next ferry and explore whichever island it would take us to.
We walked around the small island and then stumbled across Guglielmi castle, or Isabella Castle.
It was built as a summer residence in 1887 by a Senator, in agreement with his wife Isabella. Unfortunately it had been shut for some time, so we had no way to explore it on foot. So, we took up the drone for some aerial reconnaissance.
What we saw was pretty exciting, and here's the footage. Enjoy

Beautiful Places to visit - Lago Trasimeno
The countryside surrounding Lake Trasimeno looks like a hill amphitheater that frames its surface (128 km², the largest lake in peninsular Italy, and bound as a Regional Park). The west coast stretches out in a flat strip open towards the Val di Chiana. The northwestern part of the Trasimeno area marks the border area between the province of Perugia, of which the lake is entirely a part, with the neighboring provinces of Siena and Arezzo.
The origin of the lake basin is linked to tectonic phenomena concomitant with the final phases of the Apennine orogeny. The lake is entirely included in the Trasimeno area of the province of Perugia and does not have a natural outlet. The artificial emissary of Trasimeno brings any excess water into the Nestore river, through the Caina stream. Nestor in turn throws himself into the Tiber. The lake is fed mainly by the rains and the Rigo Maggiore, Tresa, Moiano and Maranzano streams, which flow into the artificial Anguillara inlet. Paganico and Pescia are the two natural tributaries of the Trasimeno.

Passignano sul Trasimeno
Italyzone vi porta a Passignano sul Trasimeno in Umbria, una delle località più rinomate sul lago Trasimeno insieme a Castiglione del Lago. Passignano ha una bellissima passeggiata e si trova davanti a due delle tre isole del lago: la disabitata Isola Minore e l'Isola Maggiore, raggiungibile con il traghetto.
La Rocca fu edificata in età medievale mentre l'abitato si sviluppò soprattutto in epoca moderna, fra il Cinquecento e il Seicento.
Michela ha voluto raggiungere la rocca per vedere il meraviglioso panorama che si gode dalla sommità della torre.
Si ringrazia il B&B Emporio di Torricella di Magione che ha ospitato la troupe di Italyzone in occasione di questo video. Il B&B Emporio si trova a soli 7 Km da Passignano sul Trasimeno.
