umbria italy

The territory of the Assisi occupies the northern part of the Umbrian valley, bounded to the north east by Mount Subasio and to the South east by the hills that separate it from the Tiber Valley. Assisi is a must-see destination for international tourism for many reasons: the figures of Saint Francis (1182-1226) and Saint Claire (1193-1253) who continue to fascinate believers - of whatever creed - and non-believers alike for the freshness of their message; the marvellous Basilicas dedicated to them, where in the works of the greatest painter of the era it can be said that genius of Giotto blossomed and modern painting was born.
