    The Basilica of San Francesco is a masterpiece of human creative genius, both from an architectural and artistic point of view. The basilica is made up of two superimposed churches (the lower and the upper), as well as a crypt excavated in 1818. The tomb of the Saint is preserved here, a simple sarcophagus resting on the bare rock. Cimabue, Giotto, the Lorenzetti Brothers, Simone Martini: the greatest artists of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries frescoed the walls and ceilings of the basilica.

    I believe the Basilica is one of the most beautiful architectural works, rich in history and culture. Inside it is possible to better understand its majesty using the audiovisuals.
