The beautiful and austere Porziuncola (The Portiuncula) inside the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, in the medieval town of Assisi, in Umbria, central Italy. Built in 1569 in Baroque and Mannerist style, the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli (Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels) was created to protect the Franciscan site of the Porziuncola, a small abandoned church in gothic style that Saint Francis repaired in 1205 with the help of some poor and underprivileged people and where he discovered his vocation, beginning to welcome his first followers. After the death of the Saint of the Poor, the Porziuncola became one of the places most visited by pilgrims and a place of strong spirituality. On the façade of the Porziuncola, above the external entrance, there is a fresco by Johann Friedrich Overbeck from 1829, depicting Saint Francis receiving indulgence from Christ and the Virgin. The Umbria region, considered the green lung of Italy for its wooded mountains, is characterized by a perfect integration between nature and the presence of man, in a context of environmental sustainability and healthy life. In addition to its immense artistic and historical heritage, Umbria is famous for its food and wine production and for the high quality of the olive oil produced in these lands. Since 2000, the Basilica and the other Franciscan places in Assisi have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Image in high definition quality.

Old town in Assisi, Italy.

The sanctuary of Rivotorto stands in Rivotorto, at the foot of Mount Subasio, not far from Santa Maria degli Angeli. Inside the sanctuary what is called the Hovel was rebuilt, the place where Francis of Assisi and his first companions settled to pray, meditate, work at the dawn of the Franciscan Fraternity, and in fact this moment is remembered with an engraving in stone at the entrance, HIC PRIMORDIA FRATRUM MINORUM (here the beginnings of the minor friars). The sanctuary protects the restored remains of two small stone buildings, without any ornament, inside which according to tradition Francis and his companions took refuge. This place, around which there are roads and parking lots, was once surrounded by the countryside, a countryside much less disciplined and cultivated than the one that the Assisi countryside represents today.

The majestic three large polygonal buttresses that reinforce the left side of the Basilica di Santa Chiara (Basilica of Saint Clare) in the medieval heart of Assisi, in Umbria, central Italy. Built in the Italian Gothic style in 1257, the Basilica preserves the mortal remains of Clare and the famous Crocifisso di San Damiano (Crucifix of San Damiano), in front of which St. Francis discovered his vocation. The façade is made of rows of local white and pink stone, with a double-row rose window with small columns and arches at the center. Famous for being the birthplace of Saint Francis and Saint Clare, Assisi and the spirituality of its sacred places have become over the centuries a symbol of peace, a point of reference for tolerance and solidarity among peoples and among the world's different faiths.
