Isola Maggiore is the second largest island (at approximately ) on Lake Trasimeno, in Umbria, central Italy. It is a ''frazione'' of the ''comune'' of Tuoro sul Trasimeno, and is the only inhabited island on the lake, with a current population of 35. ==History== St Francis of Assisi lived 40 days on this island as a hermit during Lent (probably 1211 although the date is unsure).〔http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/lff/lff010.htm〕 The 12th century Church of Saint Michael the Archangel was built on the top of the hill. The island's only town reached its height in the 14th century, after the establishment of a Franciscan Monastery is 1328. Most of the towns buildings date from this period. By the 1800s the town had a population of 700 and was in decline. The Guglielmi castle was built on the monastery in the 1880s, which has since fallen into disrepair. The Guglielmi Castle was in the process of being turned into a luxury resort and spa, but in 2010 the company declared bankruptcy.〔Castello Guglielmi for Auction()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Isola Maggiore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
