You can discover San Gimignano, whose towering towers are visible from afar. To see: the Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, the Palazzo del Popolo with the Civic Museum, and Piazza della Cisterna with its beautiful fountain. Reach Siena. The medieval city of Siena is a work of art from the Gothic period. With its winding historic center and narrow streets paved with Sienese clay bricks, reddish-brown tall buildings, it seems as if the clock of the centuries has stopped. The historic center, on its three hills grouped in the shape of three stars, is famous for its Palazzo Pubblico and its Torre del Mangia (88 meters high).

The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta is a masterpiece of Italian architecture. Inside the Baptistery you can visit the hexagonal pulpit by Nicola Pisano. Very particular, in its own way, is the Cemetery, which has the shape of a monumental cloister. Reach Lucca and visit this splendid medieval city with the Guinigi Tower and the Clock Tower. From these points you enjoy a splendid view over the roofs of the Tuscan city, a panorama that allows you to appreciate its beauty and harmony, and to find the same urban structure built by the Romans. Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, named for what was already said in this space now occupied by one of the most beautiful squares in Italy.

The town hosts a famous tourist center in a magical position offering a breathtaking view of the enchanting lake and the surrounding islands. After this visit, proceed through the suggestive landscape until you reach the hill where the ancient city of Perugia rises. The evidence of its Etruscan origin is preserved in the travertine walls and the comfortable town center. Perugia is one of the most appreciated Italian art cities, with a beautiful square from which you can admire architectural jewels such as the superb Palazzo dei Priori and the splendid Cathedral next to the Loggia. The elegant Fontana Maggiore is another breathtaking masterpiece. Reach Assisi, the characteristic town where the patron saint of Italy, Saint Francis of Assisi, lived, worked, and died. The city of Assisi is located at the foot of Mount Subasio. Upon arrival, you should first visit the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, built to protect the famous church of the "Porziuncola."
