“On the border between Umbria and sits a charming town built by centuries of history. Castiglione protects Lake Trasimeno, its image mirrored in the water.” The town’s most important landmark is, without a doubt, Palazzo della Corgna (1). Originally a grand villa, it later became the Corgna dynasty’s court palace. Today it is the venue of many important cultural activities and hosts a museum that celebrates the main events of the della Corgna family in frescoes painted by the renowned artist Niccolò Circignani, also known as Il Pomarancio. The Rocca del Leone (2), a military fortress built in the late XII century over the remains of an Etruscan site, is connected to Palazzo della Corgna. The Rocca is a pentagonal building that was modified by Frederick of Svevia to reflect the astronomical sign of Leo. The tower that dominates the entire perimeter of Lake Trasimeno and its enchanting landscape was added in 1310. The remains of a church of probable Byzantine origin devoted to saints Filippo and Giacomo can still be seem inside the Rocca today. The walls of the castle are home to a lovely amphitheatre where, in summer, exhibits and performances of all types can be enjoyed.

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.

PASSIGNANO sul Trasimeno

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.

TUORO sul Trasimeno

Tuoro is at the northern end of Lake Trasimeno, right on the Umbrian border with Tuscany. The district has created four routes to celebrate the fascinating history and art of the area. The Historic-Archaeological Battle Route over the open countryside encompasses the theatre of the fierce battle between the Carthaginians and the Romans. It comprises 12 rest areas equipped with illustrated panels and accompanying text in four languages that recount the famous battle in minute detail. The Hannibal at Trasimeno Museum (1) has also recently been opened, a fine example of applied multi-media technology. Then there is the nature trail that passes through lovely woods and leads to the Torre di Vernazzano (2), a tower that leans with a mind-boggling incline of 14°! The Campo del Sole (3) is an open air exhibit of 27 columns of sculpted pietra serena set in a monumental park on the shores of Lake Trasimeno. Last, but not least, is the Isola Maggiore route, a journey back in time to the days of St. Francis and the Renaissance on this tiny island, and the island’s fine tradition of lace-making the local ladies have passed down over generations. The route includes such lovely landmarks as the frescoed church of S. Michele Arcangelo, the island’s historical documentation centre and the Lace Making Museum (4), which houses very real works of art, masterpieces made with what is known as the Irish Point technique, patiently crafted, refined lace used to adorn everything from wedding dresses to baptism gowns.

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 reve- al 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.

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. 43 1) La Casa Colonica 12) Il Poggio Loc. La Casella snc - Vernazzano - Tuoro s.T.
