This year marks the 800th anniversary of the death of St. Francis, Assisi’s favorite son. The ancient town, a UNESCO site since 2000, will host a year of activities to celebrate St. Francis, who shunned riches for a life dedicated to peace, humility and nature. Starting next month, his remains will be displayed publicly for the first time. Visuals by Gianni Cipriano #travel #traveltiktok #assisi #italy
