Its early patron was Pietro Vincioli, a Perugian noble, later canonized.In the following centuries the abbey increased greatly its power, until in 1398 it was burnt by the Perugini, as the abbot Francesco Guidalotti had taken part in the plot against Biordo Michelotti, chief of the popular party. The monastery reflourished with Pope Eugene IV, who united it to the Congregation of St. Justine of Padua, maintaining a position of prestige and power in the city.The abbey was temporar...

The piles of ancient Roman artifacts stacked against the walls here aren't quite worth the bother of matching them with the detailed list you're handed at the door. But keep on the lookout for the 1st-century-A.D. stele on the right wall, with symbols of the deceased's civic scribely duties (a scroll and codex), and the fresco remnants around to the left. A corridor leads under Piazza del Comune to Assisi's old Roman Forum -- or at least a central religious square -- now some 3.9m (13 ft.) below ground level. The plain stone rectangular slab in the middle was probably used as an altar for votive statues. To its left is the base of the stairs leading up to the Temple of Minerva, which is still in good shape on the piazza above. Farther along the corridor, ongoing excavations have revealed t...
