Assisi, a medieval city built on a hill, is the birthplace of Saint Francis, closely associated with the work of the Franciscan Order. Its medieval art masterpieces, such as the Basilica of San Francesco and paintings by Cimabue and Giotto, have made Assisi a fundamental reference point for the development of Italian and European art and architecture. After Saint Francis and Saint Clare died, churches were built in their honor. The Church of Saint Francis, called the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, is famous as his burial place. It is also famous for the fresco paintings on the walls and ceilings. Many visitors go to Assisi on pilgrimage. Assisi is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site in the year 2000.

Cascia is home to Saint Rita of Cascia, one of Catholicism's most revered saints, often referred to as the "Saint of the Impossible". Cascia is also the place where a Eucharistic Miracle is preserved. It is therefore high on the list for many Catholic pilgrims. Saint Rita of Cascia is often called "the saint of the impossible". St. Rita's story is one of the power of prayer and of faith. She was born in 1381 near the city of Cascia and, although she wished to enter a convent, she married off obedience to her wishes at the age of 16. , it had long been thought that her husband was abusive to her during their 18 years of marriage. Very often Saint Rita is portrayed as a long- suffering and even abused wife, whose husband was a violent drunkard, and an unfaithful spouse.

The Basilica of St. Clare of Assisi, realized with the typical pink stone extracted from the quarry of the Subasio mountain, contains precious frescos dating back to the period from the XIIth to the XIVth century. In the chapel on the right, along the unique nave of St. Clare of Assisi, finishing in transept and polygonal apse, you can admire the Crucifix which, according to tradition, would have invited St. Francesco in the church of St. Damiano in order to "reset up the Church". In the crypt we have preserved the land remains of St. Clare of Assisi and some relics particularly well preserved: among them there is a frock of San Francesco and a cloth realized by St. Clare.

Acutis researched over 136 Eucharistic miracles that occurred over the centuries in different countries around the world, and have been acknowledged by the Church and collected them into a virtual museum. Besides creating a website to house this virtual museum, he helped create panel presentations that have traveled around the world. This is the first step on the path to sainthood. On July 5, 2018 his cause progressed and he was named Venerable Carlo Acutis. On February 22, 2020, the Vatican announced the approval of a miracle attributed to his intercession.

Porziuncola, is a small Catholic church located within the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels in Assisi in Assisi. It is the place from where the Franciscan movement started. The chapel was located on a small portion of land ("Portiuncula") belonging to the Order of Saint Benedict of Monte Subasio. Later, the name of the land passed to the little church itself. It was in bad condition, lying abandoned in a wood of oak trees. After a pilgrimage to Rome, where he begged at the church doors for the poor, Francis said he had had a mystical vision of Jesus Christ in the wayside chapel of San Damiano, in which the Icon of Christ Crucified came alive and said to him three times, "Francis, Francis, go and repair My house which, as you can see, is falling into ruins". He restored several ruined churches, among them the Porziuncola, little chapel of St Mary of the Angels, just outside the town.

Published on Sep, 2023
I could never have imagined a more beautiful experience from our recent day trip to Assisi and Cascia. A BIG Grazie to our tour host Juliana and her team Roberto, Rita and Madelina for their fantastic effort. They were tireless, very patient, friendly, considerate and made us feel special and like family all day long. Juliana and Roberto plus their excellent tour guides provided such a great insight into the history/story of the three saints. They allowed us to venerate, meditate, pray and connect with the peace of St Francis, St Claire and St Rita. So much to see, so many little things we never knew and learned with constant pleasant surprises at every turn make this tour into a life changing experience. This was one of the greatest tours my mum and I had in Italy. I highly recommend booking this luxury tour to Assissi and Cascia.
An excursion you don't want to miss.

We could never have imagined a more beautiful experience from our recent one-day trip yesterday to Assisi and Cascia with the best private tour guides ever…Rome Italy Explora. Rosanna, Luigi and everyone on the team were fantastic, tireless, patient, so accommodating and considerate, and always made you feel just like family. I’m a disabled veteran with a lot of anxiety in new places and unfamiliar faces and I easily relaxed like I was visiting old friends. They are so in control and seamlessly insert you into every place. Rosanna and Luigi, plus their excellent team of seasoned drivers and top-notch, expert specialty tour guides provided such a great, no rush vibe allowing us to venerate, meditate, pray and connect with the peace of St Francis and St Rita. So much to see, so many little things we never knew and learned yesterday with constant pleasant surprises at every turn make this tour into a life changing experience. Not even joking…This was the greatest tour my wife and I have ever experienced in our lives. First time in Italy and we will work with this company again and again while we’re here. Worth every penny and so much more. You can’t find this kind of service back home where we’re from. Don’t skip out on this tour and definitely don’t hesitate to use Rome Italy Explora. Truly…Bellisimo!
Exceptional team, memorable experience.

We booked this tour with Rome Italy Explora and very happy that we did go with Rossana and her team. She met us on time where we were staying and guided us to the car, which was very comfortable for my family (we did the tour with our two children ages 10 and 14 and they were able to have a quick nap in the back). The driver was safe, and Rossana spent great time answring our endless questions. The tour itself was very informative and rich in spirituality. We are very grateful for Rossana and her team and will recommend this tour to family and friends.
Most memorable!

My mom had requested to visit Europe for her 70th birthday. We didn't have the resources to travel until recently so I wanted to make this a memorable trip for her, while still on a budget. Fortunately for us, we were able to do it before the covid pandemic took hold of the world. As I was researching and booking tours, I met Rossana. She was very communicative and informative, and I ended up booking three private tours with her: (1) Roman Basilicas, (2) Padre Pio and St. Michael the Archangel Sanctuary, and (3) Assisi and Cascia. She even helped me navigate how to attend an audience with my mom and the Pope. Rossana and Luigi treated us like family! They met us promptly in Rome, picking us up and dropping us off at our hotel. They brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers to celebrate my mom's birthday, which my mom later left for Padre Pio. They were very accommodating to my mom's mobility needs and provided a wheel chair. At all times, I felt my mom was safe in their care. Rossana was very knowledgeable and conveyed her knowledge about every location we went. It was clear that she is passionate about Italy, it's culture, and it's history. The Roman Basilica tour was a great way to see an overview of the city as well. One of the benefits of the private tours was being able to stay in an area as long as we wanted, which also gave us time to pray when we visited my mom's favorite saint, Padre Pio, and my favorite saint, St. Francis of Assisi. It also meant we had the opportunity to eat at some delicious family-run restaurants. On our journey to visit St. Francis, St. Claire, and St. Rita, we bumped into a church group visiting from Naples, first helping them take group photos and then as we prepared for evening mass at Cascia. Rossana was incredible, stepping in to interpret for us. When we met again at a gas station on our way back to Rome, we made plans to visit them in Naples and Rossana agreed to be our guide. I cannot thank Rossana and Luigi enough for making my mom's birthday truly an enjoyable and memorable one! We cannot wait to go back and see Naples with Rossana and Luigi when it is safe to do so!
