The Bosco di San Francesco is located in Assisi, at the foot of the Basilica dedicated to the saint who lived and preached in these lands in the 13th century, together with his companions, giving life to the Franciscan order. In 2008, FAI - Fondo Ambiente Italiano acquired 64 hectares of the area thanks to the donation of Intesa Sanpaolo, then, in 2011, following reorganization and recovery works, the forest was opened.
