We are driving from Assisi to Montepluciano. Google maps has a route that passes over the north shore of Lago Trasimeno and another route that passes by the south shore of the lake. Does anyone one know if one is better that the other? The northmost route looks like it may be a straighter drive? Thanks

You will be following along or near Hannibal’s historic route in Second Punic War if you choose the northern side of the lake.

I drove the northern route a few years ago and that worked well. You could even stop in Perugia or Cortona if you wished. If you wanted to stop in Chiusi to see Estrucan sights, then the southern route might be better.
