InItaly.com - Trasimeno: Italy's Largest Lake - Lake Trasimeno sits relatively at the mid-point of the Italian peninsula, halfway between north and south as well as east and west. Just inside Umbria near the border with Tuscany and not far from Latium, it is truly surrounded by interesting places. The lake itself is stunning when viewed from a distance but is perhaps less interesting on close inspection. It is a historic site and one well worth viewing, if best from afar. Trasimeno is Italy's largest non-Alpine lake. Garda, Maggiore and Como are all bigger and very different, given their depth. Trasimeno is shallow, no more than 20 feet or so at its deepest point, with reed-filled marshes on many of its shores. The shallowness is not apparent to the first-time visitor, who will more likely see the lake as a giant mirror reflecting beautiful mountains on the north and east sides and giving way to rolling hills on the west and south.
The lake figures prominently in ancient history. Hannibal ambushed two of Rome's legions there in 217 BC. Over 15,000 legionnaires died in the conflagration. According to legend, the Roman commander should have known to avoid battle that day. The sacred chickens refused to eat their breakfast, a dead giveaway that Rome's prospects were not good. Two villages on the north shore, Sanguineto ("the place of blood") and Ossaia ("the place of bones") commemorate the events. Hannibal went on marauding around Italy for several more years before Rome finally defeated him at his home base in Africa. Trasimeno lacks the glamorous resorts found on the Alpine lakes. The most common accommodations in the area are campgrounds.
