About this experience
- This morning we lead to Assisi, Franciscan place par excellence, not only in Umbria and in Italy, but all over the world. We take a stroll around its fascinating alleys, admiring the most remarkable sites of the city: Basilica di San Francesco, Chiesa di Santa Chiara, Piazza del Comune, Cattedrale di San Rufino, Chiesa di San Damiano.
- After visiting Assisi, we reach a local farmhouse in which we will have a fun cooking class: we will learn how to make a lasagna! We will have a tour of the farmhouse on which animals are raised in the wild and products are organic. Then we will go to the kitchen and we will start cooking: we will learn all the secrets about the art of making pasta, the ingredients, the utensils and the combinations with condiments. We are so confident in your skills, that the lasagna you will prepare will be the main course of our lunch, buon appetito!
