Two weeks in Umbria
14.7.01
Visit to S. Damiano, the small but interesting monastery where Santa Chiara lived for many years.
The cloister:
Visit to the Basilic of S. Maria degli Angeli, a cathedral that hides internally 2 small chapels, nevertheless important in the life of S. Francesco: "La Porziuncola" and "La Cappella del Transito".
Visit to Torgiano; to be honest, it's too hot to see any monument; we get into"La Cornucopia" and have a delicious eno-gastronomic break, with wines, cheeses, honey, olive oil tastings, chutneys made
with strawberries and balsamic vinegar...; www.la-cornucopia.com.
Visit to Deruta, famous for its ceramics.
