Assisi (/əˈsiːsi/,[3] also US: /-iːzi, əˈsɪsi, -ɪzi/,[4][5][6] Italian: [asˈsiːzi]; from Latin: Asisium; Central Italian: Ascesi) is a town and commune of Italy in the Province of Perugia in the Umbria region, on the western flank of Monte Subasio.
It is generally regarded as the birthplace of the Latin poet Propertius, born around 50–45 BC. It is the birthplace of St. Francis, who founded the Order of Friars Minor in that town in 1208, and of St. Clare of Assisi (Chiara d'Offreducci), who, with St. Francis, founded the Order of Poor Ladies, which later became the Order of Poor Clares after her death. The 19th-century St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows was also born in Assisi.
