In the quiet of the Abbeys
Starting from Euro 220,00 per person
1st DAY
Arrival in the morning at Massa Martana, an ancient village of Roman origin, born as a rest station on the Via Flaminia. The castrum was located in the early Middle Ages on a cliff at the foot of the Martani Mountains, and still retains the castle walls and interesting civil and religious buildings, including the Abbey of San Faustino.
Free lunch
Afternoon in Todi walk through the historic center of the town, elected “place most livable in the world”
Accommodation in a structure for dinner and overnight stay
2ND DAY
After breakfast, we suggest a visit to Perugia to start from St. Peter’s Basilica, in the Borgo XX Giugno district. It was founded in the 10th century and was the first Episcopal seat in Perugia. There are two main curiosities of this Abbey, one is a painting, it represents the Triumph of the Benedictine Order, and depicts Saints, Popes, Cardinals, Bishops, Abbots and founders of related Orders such as Camaldolese, Silvestrini etc. that surround San Benedetto da Norcia. It has the prerogative of being the largest canvas in the world, occupying the entire upper part of the internal entrance wall of the church. The best place to observe it is towards the main altar. If we focus our attention on St. Benedict and the two patches of sky within which we see the sun and the moon, a disturbing, demonic figure appears in their place. The other curiosity is the Medieval Botanical Garden, in the ancient fish market of the Monastery.
The walk continues towards the historic center of Perugia.
Free lunch
In the afternoon we move to Assisi to start from Santa Maria degli Angeli and the Basilica of the same name which houses the Porziuncola and then go up towards the Abbey of San Pietro in Assisi. To end in what, although not a Benedictine abbey, is certainly one of the places in the world symbolizing religion, the Basilica of San Francesco.
Dinner in the hotel and overnight stay
3RD DAY
