ASSISI, Italy – U.S. Army Garrison Italy community members visit Assisi, a town nestled in the heart of the Umbrian Hills. USAG Italy Outdoor Recreation (ODR) took participants to Assisi, as part of a broader MWR effort to connect Soldiers with Italian historical heritage, and offered the chance to witness a special event linked to the history of St. Francis, Italy’s patron saint. The day trip took place Feb. 28, 2026, just during the period matching the 800th anniversary of the Saint's death, when thousands of pilgrims from all over the world had the opportunity to visit the basilica where his remains were on display to the public for the first time since his death.
