| Description |
Lake Trasimeno (Italian: Lago Trasimeno; Latin: Trasumennus), also referred to as Trasimene or Thrasimene in English, is the largest lake on the Italian peninsula south of the Po with a surface area of 128 km2, slightly less than Lake Como. The Tiber River flows some thirty kilometers to the east of the lake, but the lake and the river are separated by hills: no major river flows directly into or out of Lake Trasimeno, and the water level fluctuates significantly according to rainfall levels and the seasonal demands from the towns, villages and farms near the shore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Trasimeno) |
