This is one of the many ancient mills found along the region's waterways. It's one of those monuments that reminds us of how life was lived in Italy until recently.

At this point, the Chiascio River flows into the Tiber. The relaxing atmosphere and picnic area make it the perfect place for a break.

Bettona is a characteristic Umbrian village. Built on a cliff, it offers a splendid panoramic view: on one side, the Martani Mountains, and on the other, the Umbrian Valley, stretching from Perugia to Spoleto.

Coming from Petrignano you can admire the best view from below of Assisi. The Sacred Convent appears in all its imposing beauty!

Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli The small chapel of Santa Maria degli Angeli alla Porziuncola, still completely preserved inside the basilica, was, according to tradition, built by four soldiers returning from the Holy War in the wooded plain below Assisi, known as the Cerretto della Porziuncola. They brought a piece of the Madonna's tombstone with them. There, on certain autumn days, the strong wind that blew every cloud from the sky and through the leaves seemed similar to the song of angels. The chapel was administered by the Benedictine monks of the monastery of Santa Benedetto al Subasio since the 10th century. This place would probably have been completely forgotten if the paths of Francis and Clare had not led there. Thanks to them, we find the Porziuncola intact today, just as it was a good 1,000 years ago. But instead of the noisy thicket, there is now a large basilica, built between the 16th and 17th centuries, which envelops and protects the chapel like a caring mother. This view from within the building makes the chapel seem even smaller, almost impossibly small. The church was given to the poor saint by the aforementioned Benedictine monks to establish the headquarters of the newly founded Franciscan order. When Francis first came here, the church was in disrepair, and according to his saintly legend, he dedicated the third year after his conversion exclusively to the renovation of the small chapel. It was here, while reading the Gospel, that he realized that his mission was not to restore dilapidated religious buildings, but to rebuild and preach the entire Kingdom of God by living in poverty, penance, and simplicity. From here, Francis and his confreres set out to spread his message throughout Italy, and here they returned again and again. One night in 1211, a desperate and frightened Chiara d'Offreduccio, who had fled her home and her aristocratic family, knocked on the doors of Porciuncola.

On the left side of the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, the Medici family of Florence had a long fountain built in 1610, called the fountain of the 26 spouts, which was intended to bring relief to the pilgrims who went to Santa Maria degli Angeli on August 2nd for the Pardon of Assisi. The coats of arms of the noble Florentine family (six balls in a shield) are still visible on the fountain.
