Your Etruscan Experience from Rome

Etruscan heritage. Pause to browse local boutiques, sample Tuscan treats, or simply soak in striking lake views.
Next, you’ll travel to Assisi, the venerated hometown of St. Francis. Admire the grandeur of the Basilica of Saint Francis—celebrated for its remarkable frescoes by Giotto—and explore the winding alleys that lead to sacred spots like the Basilica of Santa Chiara. Feel the peace and history that make Assisi a beloved pilgrimage destination.

Return to Rome relaxed and inspired, with a deeper appreciation for Italy’s spiritual and cultural wealth. By evening’s end, you’ll have a treasure trove of memories from these two captivating hilltop towns.
