Magione (Pg).

Magione stands on a hill on the eastern shores of Lake Trasimene, in a territory dotted with a number of fortified towns. The view over the lake is particularly fine from here, although the best vantage point is the nearby Monte del Lago.
You shouldn't leave Lake Trasimene without having been on a boat trip to see the startling natural life that abounds here. Every year many migratory birds stop here to replenish their reserves of energy before continuing their journey. 
This museum traces the history of Lake Trasimene along with the animal and plant species that inhabit it. The various sections into which the museum is divided display the old fashioned equipment used by fishermen. The collection is rounded off by a large collection of photographs.
