| Why
not leave Rome for the day and take an excursion to Assisi and the
Umbrian hill town of Orvieto. Your journey will take you away from
modern highways and large cities to discover the real Italy, where
ancient villages are just waiting to be discovered.
Leaving
Rome, you'll travel in a northerly direction and drive along the
Tiber Valley to reach the marvellous medieval hilltop town of Orvieto,
whose origins go back to Etruscan times. You'll stop here to admire
Orvieto’s magnificent 14th-century cathedral, a masterpiece
of Italian Gothic architecture.
Your
tour continues into Tuscany's green hills covered in olive groves
and vineyards. This is the land of some of Italy's best known D.O.C.
(Quality controlled) wines, which include Chianti and Brunello di
Montalcino. You'll stop to taste some local wines and other typical
Umbrian and Tuscan products.

After
a lunch of traditional local dishes, you'll drive along the shores
of Lake Trasimeno to arrive in Assisi, built at the foot of Mount
Subasio. During a guided stroll through the alleys of this historic
town you will see the Church of St Claire, St Francis' birthplace,
his childhood home and Town Hall Square with its People's Palace and
Roman temple dedicated to Minerva. You'll also pay a visit to St Francis'
Basilica, close to the ancient city walls, with its magnificent frescoes
painted between the 12th and 14th centuries.
Leaving
Assisi, you will stop at the town of Santa Maria degli Angeli, named
after the church where St Francis died in 1226.
