In the green heart of Umbria, among the reeds and the enchanting white water lily, lies Lake Trasimeno, a true natural paradise where wild ducks, cormorants, kites and kingfishers flock. On the other side of the flat slope, there are gentle hills with woods alternating with fields of sunflowers and corn, vineyards and olive groves.
Here agriculture is very much practised and in a traditional way. Lake Trasimeno is a tectonic lake with a surface area of 128 km², the largest lake in central Italy and the fourth largest lake in Italy after Lake Como; however, this extension is accompanied by a shallow depth (average 4.3 m, maximum 6 m), which makes it classified as a laminar lake.
