바스티아 움브라‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪12‬개의 천연기념물

Franziskusweg에 있는 좋은 휴식처입니다. 대피소에서 하룻밤을 묵을 수도 있습니다. 이 샘물은 공식적으로 식수로 지정되어 있지 않으며, 오히려 마시는 것이 금지되어 있지만, 저는 아직 괜찮습니다. 늦은 저녁에 이 글을 쓰고 있는데, 오늘 점심때 약 1.5리터의 물을 마셨습니다.

동명의 정상에 자리한 Croce di Sasso Piano라고 불리는 이 신성한 작은 기념물 앞에서, 이곳에 머무르는 이들에게 아시시의 성 프란치스코에 대한 짧은 성찰을 제공하고 싶습니다: + „그리고 우리는 당신께 [하느님 아버지] 감사드립니다, ... 당신의 십자가와 피와 죽음을 통해, 포로였던 우리를 구원하고자 하셨기 때문입니다.“ (NbR XXIII, 3)

There is an old well here with a nymph in it. Unfortunately the water is not drinkable

Rightly considered one of the most beautiful fountains in Italy, the Fontana Maggiore of Perugia is located in the center of Piazza IV Novembre and, together with the surrounding buildings, helps to define a whole of the highest cultural and aesthetic value. The sculptural decoration of the fountain, to which Nicola and Giovanni Pisano contributed, is impressive. The panels represent realities of all kinds, historical and biblical figures, the cycle of the months of the year, the liberal arts and other cultural elements of great importance in medieval culture (and beyond).

Built between 1254 and 1278, the Fontana Maggiore is one of the most precious works of architecture from the Commune era. Sculpted by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano, father and son, with the help of Frà Bevignate, and with the hydraulic part set up by Boninsegna Veneziano, the fountain consists of two polygonal concentric marble basins and a bronze cup. The decorations on the outside of the basins recall the political and cultural structure in Perugia, celebrating the foundation of the city and the role it played in the entire region. The lower basin has a total of 24 different sides, divided by strips of three small columns. Each side contains a pair of bas-reliefs depicting different situations and contexts, starting with the months of the year, represented by a particular event in the corresponding month, which is generally an agricultural craft or a context from a specific period.

The Fontana Maggiore, located in the center of Piazza IV Novembre, is the symbolic monument of the city of Perugia. Built by Umberto the Master, between 1278 and 1280, to celebrate the arrival of water in the acropolis of the city, thanks to the new aqueduct.

summit of Mount Subasio. 360° panoramic view

The mountain Monte Subasio, the local mountain of Assisi, is about 1,290 meters high and is an ancient and mystical mountain. Since early Christian times, its caves have been home to many ascetics and hermits, and its forests have been crossed by monks who settled there over time. Of course, among these monks was Saint Francis. The mountain has a “rounded top”, a huge summit plateau and this offers a breathtaking panoramic view that is second to none. During our hike in October 2023, we were even able to see wild horses in the wild up there.
