   Assisi is the legendary birthplace and final resting place of St. Francis, the patron saint of Italy, and St. Clare. With human roots reaching back to the Neolithic era and still protected by imposing ancient walls, the town perfectly preserves the charm of a timeless Umbrian medieval village. Dominating the landscape are its crowning wonders: the magnificent Basilica of San Francesco and the majestic fortress of Rocca Maggiore.As the homeland of St. Francis, Assisi breathes his spiritual legacy. Deeply ascetic, Francis was affectionately known as "il poverello" (the poor man of Assisi) for his radical choice to renounce all material wealth, embracing a minimalist life in absolute harmony with nature and the spirit.
