Assisi. Built of rose-and-cream stone quarried from Monte Subasio, the long mountain that looms behind it, Assisi is not merely eye-candy but the home of Umbria's most famous son, whose influence is still felt strongly in this region and all throughout Italy and the world: Saint Francis of Assisi. Drawing tourists and pilgrims from all over the globe, you might think Assisi would be too crowded and trampled to hold more than a few hours' charm, but many admirers come back time after time. The Basilica di San Francesco is a double marvel, one church built on top of the other: the lower one deep, cavernous, sombre, full of round arches and gleaming strong>mosaics, Byzantine in feeling; the upper church a soaring Gothic space all frescoed by Giotto. Climb to the massive, newly restored Rocca Maggiore to look out over the valley that stretches from Perugia to Spoleto, down into the valley behind you, and up to the heights of Monte Subasio. Tour the Roman forum under the Piazza del Comune. Then step one street off the beaten track and you will discover Assisi's hidden charms. Stay the night and you'll find free concerts, drumming and flag-tossing performances, excellent restaurants, art exhibits, a lively central piazza enhanced by the towering Temple of Minerva, and the magic of walking Assisi's well-lit, rosy medieval streets after dark.
