ASSISI

The city symbol of peace, which is identified all over the world with San Francesco and is at the same time a delightful medieval town. Clearly, an in-depth visit to the Basilica of San Francesco cannot be missing, made up of two parts so different as to be complementary: the Upper Church and the Lower Church. The latter know how to amaze every visitor with their wealth of details and historical elements. Inside the church, the frescoes by Giotto and his school are not to be missed. Do not forget the medieval Piazza del Comune and the Temple of Minerva.

MONTEFALCO

Known above all for its wine, the city of Montefalco is located in an enchanting geographical position. From the viewpoint, in fact, it is possible to see a large part of Umbria admiring the towns of Perugia, Assisi, Spello and Foligno, as well as the beautiful hills full of vineyards. After a tour of the medieval walls, it is possible to see the Church of Sant’Agostino and the Church-Museum of San Francesco. Finally, after a tour of the typically Umbrian historic center, it is possible to arrive in the beautiful circular square where the Palazzo del Comune and the Oratory of Santa Maria overlook it.

Cascate delle Marmore

The Marmore Falls is a popular destination of absolute beauty, not to be missed. Paths full of greenery characterized by hiking trails that allow you to do spectacular activities capable of thrilling young and old! It is in fact the highest waterfall in Italy, among the highest in all of Europe. The overall difference in height is divided into three jumps, made in succession by the waters of the Velino river which in this way flows and flows into the black. The progression of jumps creates an even more evocative overall frame, almost unique in its kind.

PERUGIA

The splendid capital with its characteristic medieval and steep streets, its breathtaking views and the many delicious specialties to taste. Piazza IV Novembre is the heart of the city and here you can see the splendid Fontana Maggiore, the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and the Palazzo dei Priori. Also worth visiting is Corso Vannucci, which with its shops and its historic premises represents the center of Perugian social life

Gubbio

Each tour must start from the Duomo, a real treasure of art. The splendid Piazza Grande also houses the Palazzo dei Consoli, symbol of the city and the Palazzo Ducale. Famous all over the world is the Corsa dei Ceri, an event also celebrated on television, a must for every tourist. To enjoy an unforgettable view of Gubbio, just go to the Ranghiasci Park; once you have taken the cable car, you can reach the Basilica of Sant’Ubaldo, which houses the remains of the saint and the famous candles.

Spoleto

Spoleto is undoubtedly one of the places located near the Hotel La Quiete in Assisi that you must definitely visit and discover its historic walls characterized by the majestic Rocca Albornoziana, which dominates the city. Illustrious testimony of the presence of popes and governors in Spoleto, the Rocca, delimited by a high system of perimeter walls alternated by six square towers, is in fact the symbol of the city and is divided into two distinct areas: the courtyard of honor, with the National Museum of the Duchy is a multipurpose space for exhibitions, concerts and conferences, and the Courtyard of the Arms, with an open-air theater.

SPIRITUAL RETREAT IN ASSISI

A GOAL OF PILGRIMAGES

Inside the La Quiete complex there is a small chapel dating back to 1700, which aligns with the reputation of a spiritual retreat in Assisi.

Historical notes of the village.
The city of Assisi is known for being the home of San Francesco and Santa Chiara. For this reason, after the discovery of their bodies, in 1818 and 1850, Assisi became a privileged destination for pilgrimages; religious tourism gave a strong increase to the rebirth of the local economy.

La storia DI ASSISI

During the Second World War, in the period following 8 September 1943 and the German occupation, Assisi was literally invaded by refugees, including over 300 Jews. The bishop Msgr. Giuseppe Placido Nicolini transforms Assisi into one of the main centers of the Italian civil resistance to the Holocaust. Disguised as friars and nuns, hidden in the basements and cellars, camouflaged among the displaced, with false documents, the Jews who took refuge in Assisi are protected by a vast network of solidarity that also extends to other areas of Umbria and has contacts, also through the cyclist Gino Bartali, with the Delasem resistance and financing centers in Liguria and Tuscany. The task is difficult. Among the refugees there are women, children, the elderly, the sick, who need care and assistance for their daily needs. A school is even organized where Jewish children can receive Jewish religious education. Thanks also to the complicity of the German colonel Valentin Müller, who will declare Assisi a hospital free zone, no Jew will be deported from Assisi.

LA MOSTRA

“Assisi: Holy Year. The Jubilees of the Church from Leo XIII to Francis ”. An extraordinary collection of testimonies dedicated to the extraordinary and ordinary jubilees, which took place from 1900 to 2000. Open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 15.00 to 19.00 and from Friday to Sunday from 11.00 to 19.00, it can be visited at Palazzo Bonacquisti in Piazza of the Municipality with free admission.

Il calendimaggio

The Spring Festival of Assisi, an event that has lasted for centuries and offers songs, music, serenades under the balconies with a very strong popular participation. The event takes its name from the period in which it takes place, that is, the beginning of May. Since 1954, on the initiative of some intellectuals from Assisi, a dispute has arisen that evokes the times of calendimaggio. The two sides return to challenge each other in our day in a heated but courteous contest of singing, acting and scenographic creations. The parts are none other than the two territorial units, which evoke the territories of the Rivers and the Nepis, into which the city is ideally divided.

Assisi Underground

The guided tour of the Roman Domus in Assisi, where the oldest history of the city is hidden, the one that best tells its past as a colony of the Empire. It will be possible to visit the Domus of Properzio, found under the Major Church and rich in graffiti with poetic verses, and the Domus del Lararium, which is located seven meters below the Palazzo Giampè, which features beautiful frescoes and mosaics.
