Duration	7 h

10:00am: After breakfast, you will meet your tour leader Mary Angela to head to Assisi, famous for being the birthplace of Saint Francis, symbol of peace, compassion, and simplicity

10:30am: You will begin your walk through the Assisi’s main drag, where ancient stone walls and artisan traditions still live side by side. You will step in one of the last remaining leather stores in town, a place where the scent of leather will instantly transport you back in time.

Once there, you will meet Fabrizio, the master craftsman, who has dedicated his life to the art of Made in Italy leatherwork. He will welcome you into his world and share the story behind each creation. Every piece, in fact, comes to life through a meticulous process that begins with carefully selecting the perfect hide and continues through tanning, dying, stitching and ultimately transforming leather into unique and timeless pieces of fashion.

As Fabrizio speaks, he will share his passion for his work, and you’ll have time to browse around his store, where unique, high-quality pieces carry not just craftsmanship, but the soul of an ancient tradition.

1:00pm: You will head to Assisi’s main square and have lunch at one of the most notable family run trattoria in the area. Menu is à la carte so you can choose among some of the most mouthwatering dishes and wines of the Umbrian tradition.

2:30pm: You will head to Spello, an adorable hamlet famous for its stunning views of Umbria and its beautiful flowers. Because of its incredibly floral countryside, Spello is also famous of its Infiorata, an outstanding flower festival which takes place every year at the feast of Corpus Domini. For this religious celebration, the town’s streets are covered with one-of-a-kind flower carpets which are magically put together by the local Spellani overnight.

You will browse around its cute little allies and you will be captured by the calm and slow pace Umbrian way of living.

You will meet an authentic off-the-beaten-path linen clothing producer and you will enjoy its latest and entirely handmade fashion creations.
