Lake Trasimeno Park

Lake Trasimeno Park extends across 13,200 hectares of protected land, encompassing the fourth largest lake in Italy and three distinct islands within its boundaries.

The protected area received its official designation in 1995, marking a significant shift toward environmental conservation and sustainable management of the lake region.

Local fishermen maintain traditional methods developed over centuries, using specialized techniques and equipment specific to Lake Trasimeno's conditions and fish species.

Visitors access the park through five municipalities, including Castiglione del Lago and Passignano sul Trasimeno, with multiple entry points and information centers.

Polvese Island functions as an environmental research center, featuring scientific facilities and study areas dedicated to understanding the lake's distinct ecosystem.
