The magnificent frescoed interior of the Basilica di San Francesco (Basilica of Saint Francis), in the medieval heart of Assisi, in Umbria. In the image, the semicircular apse inside the Lower Basilica, with frescos by Giotto, Cimabue and Pietro Lorenzetti. Built in the Italian Gothic style starting from 1228 and completed in 1253, the Basilica, which preserves the mortal remains of the Saint of the Poor from 1230, is composed of the Basilica Inferiore (Lower Basilica) and the Basilica Superiore (Upper Basilica), perfectly integrated. An ancient Umbrian city built starting from the 9th century BC, Assisi became in 89 BC an important center of social and economic domination of Ancient Rome. After the fall of Rome and countless looting due to the barbarian invasions, in the Middle Ages Assisi was conquered by the Byzantines and the Lombards, finally ending up under the dominion of the emperor Frederick I the Barbarossa. Assisi is famous for being the city of San Francesco and Santa Chiara (Saint Francis and Saint Clare), a sacred and spiritual place, a world symbol of peace between all the peoples of the earth and the different confessions. The Umbria region, considered the green lung of Italy for its wooded mountains, is characterized by a perfect integration between nature and the presence of man, in a context of environmental sustainability and healthy life. In addition to its immense artistic and historical heritage, Umbria is famous for its food and wine production and for the quality of the olive oil produced in these lands. Since 2000 the Basilica and other Franciscan sites of Assisi have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Super wide angle image in high definition format.
