The dark vaulted Lower Church has been frescoed by artists as Giotto, Cimabue, and Simone Martini. The walls of the upper Church are decorated mostly by Giotto with the Scenes of the Old and the New Testament.At the end of your experience, your guide will accompany you to the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, where Francis prayed and died, before boarding once again your vehicle and heading back to Rome.
