hills. The itinerary is full of charming medieval cities: Spoleto

Spello, and the most celebrated: Assisi, the mystic city of

rose-stone buildings, the winding narrow streets, the noble palaces, the balconies full of
flowers: everything in Assisi will hold you spellbound. Visit of the church of St.
Mary of the Angels and of the Basilica of St. Francis, with the
masterpieces of Giotto and Cimabue. It will be a pleasure to wander
about, looking into
the small artisan shops of the old city. Break for a genuine lunch in a typical
restaurant. Return to Rome.
