Tips
Poggio Bustone is one of the four great Franciscan shrines in the Rieti Valley, about halfway between Assisi and Rome. The most famous of these is probably Greccio, the place where, on Christmas 1223, Saint Francis of Assisi (San Francesco) created a living nativity scene. But the other sites, such as Poggio Bustone here, are definitely worth a visit on the trail of this very prominent saint.
