Strange sculptures at the lake shore
Trekki Says: Not that I understood these (but I am very much dumb when it comes to modern sculptures and the “messages”, the artists want to tell). But some of these are very nice. I am talking about Campo del Sole at Tuoro’s harbour. These 28 sculptures, arranged in a circle, are meant...

Lago Trasimeno - relaxing beauty off season
Of course I wanted to see Lago Trasimeno during my tour through Umbria in April 2008. This, not only because I wanted to come to peace with my school lessons in history, but also because I love water....

October, 2006 - first look at Trasimeno. Passing to Paciano and Panicale villages we made a short stop on the bank of Trasimeno Lake. At this time of year you can see it in full grace.
