Assisi Private Guided Tour

Assisi is one of the spiritual and artistic highlights of Western civilization. It is, quite simply, one of the prettiest Medieval hamlets you will ever see. Assisi's jewel in the crown is the grandiose Basilica of St. Francis, one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in all of Christendom. You'll understand why when you see the vast, breathtaking frescoes by Giotto, the most famous painter in Medieval times. He rediscovered the art of creating the illusion of depth on a flat surface and was the most powerful story teller of his day; imagine the amazement of the locals when his revolutionary artwork was unveiled in the 13th century! Through an intriguing investigation we'll discover how he envisioned new social and political values through his art which changed the course of history for the next centuries. I will lead you on an interactive and immersive tour of the church and the life of St. Francis, founder of the Franciscan religious order; you will never hear his name without fondly remembering this day.
