Magione<\/h2>\n

Magione, ancient villages and unforgettable sunsets<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The eastern coast of Lake Trasimeno is dotted with fascinating villages and hamlets, places rife with history and blessed with the most beautiful sunsets imaginable.  There is San Savino<\/strong>, with its castle and triangular medieval tower; San Feliciano<\/strong>, a charming and ancient fishing village; Monte Colognola<\/strong>, a hamlet with breathtaking views and origins that date to the 1300s; Monte del Lago<\/strong>, an architectural jewel on an outcrop right over the lake; and Agello<\/strong>, which boasts an 11th<\/sup> century fortress.  <\/p>\n

Magione itself boasts the imposing Castle of the Knights of Malta<\/strong>, built in the 12th<\/sup> century as a fortified hospital.  It has been perfectly preserved and can be toured on request. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tuoro sul Trasimeno<\/h2>\n
\"Tuoro<\/div>\n

Tuoro <\/strong>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. <\/p>\n

The most important of these itineraries is the one dedicated to history and the archaeology of the Battle of  Trasimeno<\/strong>.  It meanders through the countryside which saw one of the bloodiest battles of the 2nd<\/sup> 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. <\/p>\n

The second itinerary is a nature walk through the woods along the Rio River and takes you to the lovely Vernazzano<\/strong> Tower<\/strong>, which leans dramatically to one side.<\/p>\n
