Description:

Assisi is a beautiful medieval town which give birth to the Patron of Italy St. Francis, buried in the Basilica of St. Francis built between 1228 and completed hundreds years later. Today the town of Assisi is the center of the cult and the point of diffusion of the Franciscan movement in the world, focusing on the universal message of peace and tolerance even to other religions or beliefs. Assisi, like other towns in Umbria and Tuscany, was in the middle of the dispute between Guelphs and Ghibellines, which led to the supremacy of the Guelphs leading to clear dependence by Assisi on the Church State. In the 14^th and 15^th century, a period of substantial economic and urban growth, Assisi was the centre for many of the greatest soldiers of fortune, like the Visconti, Bracceschi, Sforza and Piccinino. Around the mid-16^th century, Assisi returned to the Church State, until the Unification of Italy (1861) when it became part of modern Italy. Today Together with almost all its surrounding territory, Assisi is part of the UNESCO described as a unique example of city-sanctuary beginning with its Umbrian-Roman origins, through the Medieval Age and up until today.
