Today I left early on a Villanova sponsored trip to the towns of Perugia and Assisi. For the entire weekend we have a nice tour guide, Marco, who’s showing us around. Perugia was interesting, but their most historically significant piece of architecture is this tiny fountain. However, what the locals are more proud of is the local chocolate. Perugino chocolate is supposedly very famous, but definitely very good.
In the afternoon we toured the Basilica of Assisi. The artwork is fantastic, almost 10,000 square feet of frescoes. It is literally overwhelming. Besides the artwork the other cool part was the tour itself. Because the Basilica was so packed and because we are supposed to be quite in this holy place everyone in the group was given ear buds which were tuned into our tour guide. It is the little things in life that makes me happy.
