Siena and Assisi: Italy's Grand Hill Towns: Rick Steves' Europe: TV Schedule: Rocky Mountain PBS

In red-bricked Siena, we tour its innovative medieval hospital, lavish cathedral, and a bakery that makes panforte (like fruitcake, only better). Exploring the Chianti region, we taste Brunello di Montalcino – with its makers. Spending the night at a farmhouse, we meet the family and the sheep, learn of the Slow Food Movement, and enjoy a homegrown dinner. In Assisi, we follow the footsteps of St. Francis from his humble chapel to the grand basilica – frescoed by Giotto – that holds his tomb.
