But we would like underline the less known Assisi part. Hence don’t visit the most hidden and amazing medieval alleys of Assisi it would be a pity. They are full of shops, flowers, fountains, and tiny restaurants where you can taste excellent products as meat, cured meat, cheese and fine wine. A romantic lunch in one of these typical restaurants is a must !
