wo antithetical records characterize Assisi: It is, on one hand, one of the most important spiritual centers of Christianity thanks to Saint Francis of Assisi and, on the other, it is a center of culinary pleasures par excellence.

The landscape here is deeply molded by Man. Vineyards bring a sense of lasting peace to hillsides crowned by thick woods. Solitary castles, ancient stonewalls, monasteries and churches, and tiled-roof farmhouses dot the peaceful countryside all the way up to the gates of ancient towns where history has passed through and Art, lingered on.
