An intact piece of the Umbrian countryside in the center of Assisi. A place of harmony and silence at the foot of the great Basilica of St Francis of Assisi; a walk through this landscape becomes an inner journey – one that inspired Michelangelo Pistoletto to create a stunning work of land art: the “Third Paradise” - 121 olive trees arranged in a double row to form three large, tangential circles.
Available guided tour, thematic tour, olive oil tasting and production as well as a visit on your own.

Woodland donated to FAI by Intesa Sanpaolo in 2008
