Perched on a volcanic plateau above the charming countryside of Umbria, Orvieto is just under two hours away from Rome by car. This city is renowned for its gourmet food - particularly truffles. It’s also home to an impressive Gothic-style Cathedral adorned with a Last Judgement fresco rivalling that of Michelangelo’s. Orvieto also features a maze of ancient subterranean passageways and a well-regarded art gallery.
Assisi, the town where St. Francis was born, houses numerous landmarks tied to the saint’s life. These include the Porziuncola Chapel where St. Francis was born and where his religious order was established, and the “Eremo delle Carceri”, a tranquil monastery nestled in neighboring hills where St. Francis famously sermonized to birds. The Basilica of St. Francis represents a vital facet of both religious and art history.
