Assisi is a must-see destination not only for the figures of Saint Francis (1182-1226) and Saint Claire (1193-1253) who continue to fascinate for the freshness of their message; but also for its marvellous Basilicas, enriched by the works of the greatest Italian painters as Giotto, Cimabue, Simone Martini, and Lorenzetti. Assisi's typical medieval urban structure; as well as the surrounding beautiful countryside offer many artistic and gastronomic itineraries to your unforgettable holiday. UNESCO collectively designated the major monuments and most all of Assisi as a World Heritage Site. Some festivals include the Festival Calendimaggio, May 1st-5th: re-enactment of medieval and renaissance life in the form of a challenge between the upper faction and the lower faction of the town. With processions, theatrical presentations, flag-weavers and dance. Today the town has many groups coming to enjoy the simple peace of St. Francis. One such group has restored an 11th century room and added altars to the world's religions. Pilgrims come from many countries to the Assisi East West Retreat Center in Piazza San Rufino in the spirit of St. Francis to sit and be in peace. Assisi Embroidery is a form of counted-thread embroidery which has been practised in Assisi since the 13th century.
