Bike and Secrets
Maggiore Island is the second largest on Lake Trasimeno, the only inhabited one, and is covered in dense vegetation of olive trees, holm oaks and cypresses. An ancient fishing village, the island is also known for its lace-making or Irish lace, introduced in the early 1900s by the Marchesa Guglielmi to whom the ancient castle located there is dedicated. Worth visiting are the Lace Museum, the House of the People's Captain, and the church of St. Michael the Archangel.
The island is located in Tuoro sul Trasimeno where it is possible to walk a very compelling itinerary dedicated to the Battle of Trasimeno.
La Battaglia del Trasimeno è una delle più sanguinose della seconda guerra punica, considerata dagli storici come la “ prima guerra mondiale dell’antichità”, conclusasi con la vittoria di Roma a Zama in Africa grazie a Publio Cornelio Scipione Africano. All’alba del 21 giugno del 217 a.C., il condottiero cartaginese Annibale Barca accampato presso le colline di Tuoro, trasse in agguato l’esercito romano guidato dal console Gaio Flaminio Nepote; in pochissime ore i romani furono sconfitti. Annibale Barca ottenne numerose vittorie, minacciando la stessa Roma, ma l'isolamento geografico dalla madrepatria e la difficoltà nei rifornimenti lo portarono alla sconfitta dopo oltre quindici anni di guerriglia.
