Nature, in Umbria, is amiable and sweet just like its hills and exactly this feeling of peace and wellbeing, during the centuries, favoured the birth and the spreading of important religious orders. Whilst retracing the places which marked Saint Francis and Saint Clair of Assisi and Montefalco, Saint Benedict of Norcia and Saint Rita of Cascia’s spiritual itineraries, it still is possible to breath the rarified and mystic atmosphere; there are several abbeys, convents and monasteries which still today testify directly this great spiritual tradition. Among the most significant churches which are worth the while to remember is the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi, also for the Giotto’s famous series of frescoes dedicated to the Saint’s life, the Cathedral of Spoleto and the Duomo of Orvieto, which represents one of the major examples in Italian Goth architecture.
