Giotto’s frescos
Assisi Upper Basilica
The life of Saint Francis is illustrated along the entire nave of the Assisi Upper Basilica. A veritable pictorial tale and a multitude of colours that have been leaving visitors awestruck since the 14th century. An artistic revolution by Giotto to represent a “revolutionary” man.
Saint Francis’s Woods
among silence and harmony
The asset of FAI - Fondo per L’Ambiente Italiano (National Trust of Italy) at the foot of the Basilica of Assisi, where you can have a stroll and admire the Land Art by Michelangelo Pistoletto "Third Paradise". 121 olive trees in double rows, forming three wide circular elements that are tangent to each other, representing a newly found harmony between humans and nature.
Bevagna and Montefalco
Italy’s most beautiful hamlets
Those who want to discover new places cannot miss the lovely hamlets of Bevagna and Montefalco, both among “Italy’s most beautiful hamlets”. Bevagna is a little gem where time seems to have stopped in its beautiful metaphysical piazza. Montefalco is home to the interesting Saint Francis Church, frescoed by Benozzo Gozzoli and boasting restaurants and venues where visitors can enjoy Sagrantino di Montefalco, the precious red wine that has made Umbria famous throughout the world.
Trasimeno Lake
Umbria’s Sea
A perfect destination for those who want to admire hills and olives all around, the unblemished nature of the Polvese the Maggiore Islands, for those who prefer an experience on a sail boat or canoe leaving from Monte del Lago, for anyone who wishes to discover the marvellous bird’s eye view of the lake from the battlements of Palazzo Duca della Corgna in Castiglione del Lago, for those who wish to wait for the colourful vibrations of the sunset as they walk along the piers that dot the lake margins.
