TV Rick Steves' Europe - Season 2 Episode 4 : Siena and Assisi: Italy's Grand Hill Towns Rick Steves' Europe - Season 2 Episode 4 : Siena and Assisi: Italy's Grand Hill Towns 8.6/10 by 8 users In red-bricked Siena, we tour the town's innovative medieval hospital, lavish cathedral, and a bakery that makes panforte (like fruitcake, only delicious). Exploring the Chianti region, we sip Brunello di Montalcino — with its makers. Spending the night at a farmhouse, we meet the family and its 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 Giotto-frescoed basilica that holds his tomb.
