Assisi and Saint Francis from Rome Private Day Tour

Dear guests, this tour has been programmed for those who wish to spend a day among the most significant places of Italian Christianity, where Francis, Patron Saint of Italy, was born, lived, and in the name of Jesus gave up all his belongings, for a life made of austerity, poverty, and great sacrifices. The city of Assisi is a fairly small village, surrounded by fantastic countryside, making it a special place for spending a relaxed day, away from the crowds of our common noisy cities. As you approach the city, you could be overwhelmed by the sense of peace that it conveys. The city was founded in Roman times, but its fame and importance date back to the Middle Ages of Comuns and, when in the 13th century the basilica of St. Francis was built outside the city centre, the town of Assisi had already been built using the pink and white local stones from the Subasio mountain.
