As regards the two journeys that we normally feel comfortable suggesting by car between Pieve Santo Stefano – Citerna and between Città di Castello – Pietralunga, they are included because the route, according to the many who have traveled the road, is demanding and above all because it would force you to add two additional overnight stays.

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 bishopric of 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. which surround San Benedetto da Norcia. It has the distinction of being the largest canvas in the world, occupying the entire upper part of the internal entrance wall of the church. The best point to observe it is towards the main altar. If we focus our attention on St. Benedict and on the two glimpses of sky in which the sun and the moon are seen, 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 again towards the Abbey of San Pietro in Assisi. To end up in what, although not a Benedictine abbey, is certainly one of the places in the world that symbolizes religion, the Basilica of San Francesco.

Dinner in the structure and overnight
