The salubrity of the air surrounding the lake has long been known to the people who

practice this type of tourism, which each year brings together a growing and growing

number of fans.

The most famous Italian lakes are certainly the subalpine ones (Garda, Como, Maggiore,

Iseo), although in recent periods central Italy lakes are becoming increasingly popular

thanks to a milder climate which allows longer bathing periods.

Of course, lake tourism is not just about opportunities for bathing and purity of the air, but

it is also connected with water sports like sailing, windsurf or canoeing. The practice of

these sports has been added in recent years to new sports activities, such as trekking on

the banks of the lake and cyclo tourism, both by road bikes and mountain bikes.

Being a central region in Italy, it is no surprise to find fantastic attractions in Latium such as

beautiful sceneries, fascinating landmarks and rich culture. But what makes it even more

attractive are the lakes in Latium that promises adventure and relaxation. A lot of tourists are

drawn to the clear waters and picturesque surrounding countryside of Latium, a must-see

that should be included in every traveller’s itinerary to Italy. Its magnificent lakes are mostly

of volcanic origin and each of them provides tourists with a diverse range of interests that

are sure to satisfy their needs. The Lake Bracciano is the closest to Rome and is popular to

a lot of both foreign visitors and Italians who are staying in the capital. Many locals visit it

because it is a wonderful getaway for Sunday outings. Travellers can stay in any of the three

interesting villages:

• Anguillara – is delightfully situated on a promontory overlooking the water and is famous

for almost all visitors there.

• Trevignano – provides the most exquisite setting for relaxing strolls around with warm

moments of relaxation.

those who want to relax and unwind alone or with friends and family members. Although

frequented by many tourists, Lombardy’s lakes still retain its raw, untarnished beauty.

Umbria is a region full of histrory, culture and religious backgrounds. The mail lake of the

region is Lake Trasimeno,located in a central position to the art cities of central Italy, between

Florence and Rome, close to places rich in history and culture as Siena, Arezzo, Perugia,

Assisi, Orvieto and Gubbio. The area of the lake is composed of eight municipalities, some

of which are perched on the hills (Citt‡ della Pieve, Paciano, Panicale and Piegaro) and oth-

ers (Castiglione del Lago, Magione, Passignano sul Trasimeno Tuoro sul Trasimeno) directly

facing the lake shores.

Trasimeno LaKe gets its name from an etruscan origin. Legend tells that Prince Trasimeno,

son of the etruscan king Tyrrhenian, met the nymph Agilla in these lands. They fell in a love

that ended tragically with the death of the prince. Since then, the lake was named Trasimeno.

And when the wind caresses the lake’s waters you can still hear the melancholy lament of

the nymph Agilla crying in search of her beloved prince.
