the expression trans minus vide laco, meaning "among the mountains you will see the lake" or more likely "through the small hill you see the lake", used to guide foreigners, mostly from Florence, intent on reaching the city of Perugia.

Very interesting background on the history of aviation here on the lake – the former factory buildings still stand as a lost place right next to the promenade in Passignano.

Also ideal for gravel bikers!
