Prelievo dal tuo Hotel a Roma e ti condurrà alla Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli che fu costruita in stile manierista tra il 1569 e il 1679, racchiudendo la chiesetta del IX secolo, la Porziuncola, il luogo più sacro per i francescani. Fu qui che il giovane Francesco d'Assisi comprese la sua vocazione e rinunciò al mondo per vivere in povertà tra i poveri, e diede così inizio al movimento francescano. Secondo la tradizione, san Francesco visitò papa Onorio III a Perugia nell'estate del 1216 e si assicurò la conferma papale di un'indulgenza plenaria concessagli da Cristo, che sarebbe stata concessa a tutti coloro che visitavano la Cappella della Porziuncula dopo aver avevano confessato e veramente pentito i loro peccati. Onorio III concesse che questa indulgenza sarebbe stata disponibile in perpetuo, ma solo a coloro che visitavano durante le 24 ore dai Vespri del 1° agosto.
Suggerimento per il pranzo: Taverna dei Consoli o Ristorante Medioevo. (Assisi)
Seconda tappa ad Assisi, paese natale di San Francesco, che nel 1208 fondò l'ordine religioso francescano nella città, e di Santa Chiara (Chiara d'Offreducci), fondatrice delle Sorelle Povere, divenuto poi Ordine delle Clarisse dopo la sua morte. Ad Assisi nacque anche l'ottocentesco San Gabriele dell'Addolorata.
Assisi è stata colpita da due devastanti terremoti, che hanno scosso l'Umbria nel settembre 1997. Ma il recupero e il restauro sono stati notevoli, anche se molto resta da fare. Ingenti danni furono causati a molti siti storici, ma l'attrazione principale, la Basilica di San Francesco, riaprì meno di 2 anni dopo.
Dopo una profonda esperienza spirituale è tempo di tornare a Roma.
Pick-up from your Hotel in Rome and drive you to the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli that was constructed in the Mannerist style between 1569 and 1679, enclosing the 9th century little church, the Porziuncola, the most sacred place for the Franciscans. It was here that the young Francis of Assisi understood his vocation and renounced the world in order to live in poverty among the poor, and thus started the Franciscan movement. According to tradition, St Francis visited Pope Honorius III at Perugia in the summer of 1216 and secured the papal confirmation of a plenary indulgence granted to him by Christ, which would be given to be given to all of those visiting the Cappella della Portiuncula after they had confessed and truly repented their sins. Honorius III conceded that this indulgence would be available in perpetuity, but only to those visiting during the 24 hours from Vespers on August 1st.

Assisi was hit by two devastating earthquakes, that shook Umbria in September 1997. But the recovery and restoration have been remarkable, although much remains to be done. Massive damage was caused to many historical sites, but the major attraction, the Basilica di San Francesco, reopened less than 2 years later.
