Tuoro sul Trasimeno is located on the northern shore of lake Trasimeno, an area of great history.
The lake is famous for the battle of Trasimene. The Battle of Lake Trasimene (June 24, 217 BC, April on the Julian calendar) was a Roman defeat in the Second Punic War between the Carthaginians under Hannibal and the Romans under the consul Gaius Flaminius. The battle is perhaps one of the largest and most successful ambushes in military history.
You can also easely access the "Campo del Sole", where italian and foreign artists created 28 sculptures, set in spiral, open air, along the lake banks, in the way one would do for idols that are busy talking with the sky and the people.
One can also go and visit the Fishing museum at San Feliciano. Since 1974, the Fishing Museum has set out to records the "life" of Trasimeno through what for centuries has been the principal activity of its people. The Museum shows the visitor not only the different fishing methods but also objects from the daily lives of the fishermen, not least documents written in the dialect of their world, now almost lost.
