| Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi 圣方济格亚西西圣殿 |
After Rome, we went to Assisi.
Assisi is famous because of St. Francis, a great saint of the Catholic church.
We stayed at a hotel just opposite the train station. The hotel owner and staff are very friendly and caring. We have to leave Assisi for Florence the next morning, so the owner prepared a breakfast package for us night before, and reminding us not to forget to bring on to the train.
Basilica of Santa Maria Degli Angeli is just 10 minutes walk from the hotel. It was built over a 9th centuary chapel where Francis heard the voice of God calling him to "rebuilt my church". It is the holiest shrine of Capuchin Franciscan Order.
Basilica of St Francis was built on top of a hill, overlooking the valley. The in-corrupt body of St Francis was laid inside the Basilica.
The roads on the hilltop town of Assisi are steep and narrow. We have to walk to see all places related to St. Francis, including the Basilica of St. Clare, cooperator of Francis in his early ministry.
After Assisi, we headed to Florence.
The famous Pisa leaning tower is an hour train ride away.
It was a short stay in Florence. The next day, we left for Venice and making a stopover of 4 hours in Padua to visit the Basilica of St. Anthony.
St. Anthony was a faithful follower of St. Anthony.

圣方济格大殿建在山上，远望非常的宏伟，里面放置着圣人的遗体。沿着斜陡的山路，我们参观了山上大部份方济格有关的圣地，包括圣女嘉兰（St. Clare）的遗体及许多遗物等。当天天气炎热，我们除了汗流浃背外，脚的肌肉也吃不消了。在山上逗留了大半天后，我们也回到了酒店。

离开了罗马，下一站是亚西西。
亚西西出了一位圣人，那就是圣方济格（点击参考）。现任教宗就是取名于他。
我们住宿的酒店，就在火车站对面，非常的方便，酒店的老板也很友善。隔天一早，因为我们要乘搭很早的火车离开，没时间吃早餐（包含在住宿费里），他特地准备了每人一个早餐袋，里面有糕饼、果汁及水等，还交待我们别忘记带着上火车。
圣方济格大殿建在山上，远望非常的宏伟，里面放置着圣人的遗体。沿着斜陡的山路，我们参观了山上大部份方济格有关的圣地，包括圣女嘉兰（St. Clare）的遗体及许多遗物等。当天天气炎热，我们除了汗流浃背外，脚的肌肉也吃不消了。在山上逗留了大半天后，我们也回到了酒店。
假如能够在山上看日落的话，应该是非常迷人的景致，但夏天的太阳，在晚上九点过后才落山，那就是要等太久了。
离开亚西西，我们前往弗洛伦斯（Florence ）（诗人徐志摩给了它一个非常浪漫的名字 -- 翡冷翠， 意大利原文
Firenze）。到了弗洛伦斯，首先要去观光的，是附近的比萨斜塔。
我们参观了主教座堂圣母百花圣殿，并在里面参加了一台傍晚弥撒，过后享用了著名的弗洛伦斯牛排晚餐。
隔天，我们前往威尼斯途中，在巴杜亚停留了三个小时，参观圣安东尼圣殿及圣人的遗物。
圣安东尼是圣方济格的忠实跟随者。天主教徒都信奉他为失物寻回者。很多时候东西遗失了，都会向圣安东尼祈求相助，而奇迹般的寻获。
