assisi

Assisi was, in the pre-roman age influenced by the nearby Etruscans. Assisium was its name as it became a Roman municipality.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, Assisi was taken over by the Goths then recaptured later by the Byzantines. Assisi flourished again during the 11th and 12th centuries as an independent township, though it was troubled by wars. St. Francis and St. Claire were born here during this period (St. Francis 1181, St. Claire 1193). From the 16th century to 1860, except for the brief Napoleonic period, it was part of the Papal States. Stone-cutters and masons gave Assisi an incomparable appearance, and time seems to have stopped before its beauty. Its narrow streets between buildings built with in the typical local stone called Pietra Subasia with their red tile roofs make you think you've been traveling in a time-machine, rather than in a in normal car, to get there. Arriving in Assisi we stop to see the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, which is at the bottom of the hill, and then climb to the town to visit St. Damiano Church where St. Francis heared the Byzantine Cross speaking, St. Claire's Church with her elongings and lastly the Basilica of St. Francis, the patron of Europe.
