• Basilica Papale e Sacro Convento di San Francesco d’Assisi - The Basilica of St. Francis is a revered site and a major destination for Christian pilgrims, attracting millions of visitors annually. Since 1230, it has safeguarded the mortal remains of the Saint. Tradition holds that Francis himself selected his burial site, a place where “lawless” individuals, condemned by justice, were typically interred. Francis was canonized just two years after his death on July 16, 1228, and the following day, the foundation stone for his grand Basilica was laid. This complex is of immense artistic value, both architecturally and for its exquisite frescoes and interior decorations. The Upper Basilica features a Gothic, bright, and slender design, while the Lower Basilica is more subdued and austere. The heart of the Basilicas is the Crypt with the Tomb of St. Francis. Other notable sites include the Basilica of Santa Chiara and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli.
• Basilica di Santa Chiara - The Church of Santa Chiara is the second most visited site in Assisi after the Basilica of San Francesco. Inside, it houses the body of Santa Chiara. Visitors can witness two miracles of Saint Clare: the first performed for her sister Agnes and the second, the miracle of bread, for all the sisters of the San Damiano community. The Basilica, constructed with the distinctive white and pink stone of Mount Subasio, stands on a spacious square offering views of the valley and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli. Chiara Scifi (16 July 1194 – 11 August 1253) was an Italian religious figure, collaborator of Francis of Assisi, and founder of the Poor Clares order. She was canonized as Saint Clare in 1255 by Alexander IV in the cathedral of Anagni.
• Assisi - Assisi is the city where Saint Francis, the patron saint of Italy, and Saint Clare lived and passed away. The earliest evidence of human presence in Assisi dates back to the Neolithic era. Still encircled by a formidable wall, the city retains the characteristics of a typical Umbrian village. Its highlights include the magnificent Basilica of San Francesco and the imposing Rocca Maggiore. As the homeland of St. Francis, Assisi is deeply ascetic, and he was known as “the poor man of Assisi” for his choice to renounce material possessions and lead a simple life in spiritual harmony.
• Duomo di Orvieto - Continuing the tour to Orvieto, one can enjoy a scenic journey through the verdant hills and well-tended lands, surrounded by the vineyards of the Umbria region. Upon entering Orvieto, visitors are captivated by the natural beauty of this picturesque city, with its narrow streets lined with small shops, and numerous galleries beneath the city, including corridors, wells, and ancient cellars carved into the tuff rock over centuries, adding to its intrigue, beauty, and uniqueness. Notably, the grand Gothic cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta stands as one of the most majestic religious structures of Italian medieval art, with construction spanning three centuries and involving over 20 artists. The cathedral features statues and mosaics that narrate our past. Construction began in 1290, with the last restoration and renovation completed at the end of the 16th century.
• Centro Storico Orvieto - Orvieto was a city of great prominence throughout various historical periods. During the Etruscan civilization, it experienced a time of significant splendor and importance, becoming the hub and most populous center of the vast Etruria territory. The heart of Orvieto is Piazza del Duomo, a valuable area surrounded by ancient palaces and dominated by the imposing Duomo. Its stunning facade, adorned with polychrome marble and mosaics, captivates attention with its pure lines.
