St Francis of Assisi

Both young men, were rich, and left all their belongings, in spite of what they thought the families, to live in poverty.
St Francis Basilica
The death of the Saint, October 3, 1226, began the construction work of the Upper Basilica, which was built in the Gothic style.
You can admire the magnificent cycle of frescoes by the most famous artists of the time including Giotto and Cimabue at the Assisi wheelchair accessible tours Umbria disabled friendly travel solution Basilica.
These works were particularly innovative, because they were simple decorative works or ornamental, but it formed a sort of Bible of the poor who were illiterate.
Giotto Frescos
In these important frescoes for the first time the people itself is represented in the cited art works and God is portrayed not as a figure ireatica and powerful, but as a humble and suffering Christ.
Besides the frescoes relating to the Bible depicts episodes from the life of St Francis, valuable works of Giotto.
After have to see the two Basilicas, already mentioned, of St Francis and St Clare, but also one dedicated to St Peter and especially the beautiful Cathedral, dedicated to the patron San Rufino.
