The boat - Park's photo
In Passignano sul Trasimeno, near the office of the Ente Parco, the “Boat Museum” was created – as a Documentation Centre of the Traditional Vessels of Internal Italian Waters. There can be found some of the crafts typical of the lakes of Trasimeno, Piediluco, Padule, Fucecchio and also the “fassoi” (a boat made out of marsh plants) of the Cabras Pond in Sardinia. For what concerns the Trasimeno Lake, two types of traditional boats are displayed, used by professional fishermen up to the second half of the 20th century, already present in 15th-16th century. The monoxilo crafts, recovered during the dredging of the lake shores in the area of Passignano, dating back to the 13th century, are the most important specimens of the museum.
