You will visit the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, where you can admire the Porziuncola, one of the most sacred places of Franciscanism. You will also visit the Basilica of Santa Chiara, which houses the body of the saint. Together with your tour assistant you will reach the church which preserves the body of Blessed Charles Acutis.
