Magione, between Perugia and the eastern shore of Lake Trasimeno

Magione covers the eastern shore of Lake Trasimeno and the hills that separate it from Perugia. The main town sits a little inland, around the castle of the Knights of Malta and its medieval tower, while the hamlets of San Feliciano, Monte del Lago and Torricella look straight onto the water. The municipality is also home to the Umbria motor racing circuit, which makes itself heard on race weekends.

The main road link is the motorway spur between Perugia and the A1, which crosses the municipality with several junctions, making Magione a popular choice for people who work in Perugia and want more space. Near the lake you will find houses with views and holiday homes, but bear in mind that Trasimeno is shallow and its water level varies a lot from year to year, affecting shores, jetties and damp. Inland, detached houses, old farmhouses and scattered homes on the hills dominate.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 14,652 residents in 2023, up 0.4% on 2011: a stable population. The estimated average age is 47.0, over-65s make up 25.5% and foreign residents 8.7%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average. There are 1.09 supermarkets per 1,000 residents, against 0.80 in the province.

The province of Perugia has 14 municipalities in seismic zone 1, mostly in the east and in the Valnerina; Magione is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.161 g. In stone farmhouses, often extended over time, have the walls, roofs and the joins between old and added parts checked.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report reaches the land parcel from the address. On the lake shore and along ditches flood hazard is what counts, on the hills it is landslides: both are read for the plot, not as an average for the municipality.
