Late morning we set out on a walk and by chance found ourselves on the St Francis Way. It was a lovely spring day and as we continued along the path we saw Assisi spreading across the lower slopes of Mount Subasio.

We walked on and up through the medieval streets to the imposing castle of Rocca Maggiore with its splendid views over the town and Spoleto valley below.

We left as the fiery red disc of the sun began to set.
