Assisi and the Second World War - Heroes by chance and by vocation

About this activity

Tour to discover a particular and unknown moment in the history of Assisi.

Men and women who inspired by the courage of St. Francis have decided to put their own lives at stake to save that of others. The protagonists have names little known even to the Assisans themselves but they make up an epic picture of the "seraphic" city between 1943 and 1945.
