ASSISI, the city of birds and silence, is built of pink stone on the slopes of Monte Subasio and was home to its most famous son, St. Francis. Mementos of St. Francis and St. Clara are everywhere. From the narrow streets and flower decked balconies to the splendour of the Basilica of St. Francis, this is a delightful town still enclosed by ramparts that has changed little since the Middle Ages.
