Nativity

Spello's historic center is an elegant and well-preserved medieval village. It's definitely worth a visit.

Villa Fidelia stands on a sacred complex of the classical era, it seems to have origins dating back to the 4th century AD, a place to celebrate scenic games and gladiators. Decayed after the barbarian invasions, with the 16th century the Urbani occupied the area of the ancient sanctuary and decided to build a "Villa". Villa Fidelia over the centuries has undergone profound modifications, renovations and expansions based also on the various changes of ownership, until it had its current conformation, which should date back to the mid 1800s. In addition to the main building, the baroque garden is also worth admiring.

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.

For many visitors to Assisi, the more well-known destinations are probably the Holy Sepulchre Churches + of Saint Francis (see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/7134144 ) and + of Saint Clara (see https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/2665025 ). However, these two churches are more recent (compared to this one). The ancient, venerable and original main church of the city and thus also of the diocese is of course the cathedral, the seat of the bishop. Francis and Clara also received the sacrament of baptism in this cathedral, dedicated to Saint RUFINO.

The Sentinum archaeological park contains the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Sentinum. The name of the town derives from the battle of Sentino (295 BC) which saw the Romans victorious over the Italic coalition formed by the Senones Gauls and the Samnites. This victory allowed the conquest of the territories of the Middle Adriatic. Today the remains of the city of Sentinum are still visible, but they only partially occupy the territory in which the ancient town extended.

Sulla bellissima strada di fondovalle che si snoda come un serpente ci si diverte davvero percorrendola, né troppo lento né troppo veloce; così facendo sì assapora davvero con piacere lo spostamento spazio/tempo.

Casacastalda is a small hamlet in the municipality of Valfabbrica located over 500 meters above sea level, a crossroads between the territory of Perugia and that of the Eugubino Gualdese. A nucleus of Umbrian origins, it overlooks the Val di Rasina. The castle dates back to the 8th century AD
