Assisi. Love this town- from Rome we took a bus to a metro to 2 trains to another bus to get here and it was totally worth it. Every June there is a flower competition for the residents, we enjoyed every bloom of it! The views are breathtaking, the town is charming, the colors of sunset filled the sky.There also some cool California connections to Assisi: it's the town of St. Francis (San Francisco) and St. Clare (Santa Clara), and Los Angeles is named for the church down in the valley (Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli).
