Visiting St Carlo Acutis' Tomb: Italy's Growing Pilgrimage Destination
Assisi, a small town in Italy's Umbria region, has emerged as a notable pilgrimage destination following the beatification of Carlo Acutis, an English-born Italian teenager who died from leukaemia at age 15. Known as 'God's Influencer' and 'the first millennial saint', Carlo Acutis used digital tools to promote Catholicism, earning him recognition by Pope Francis in 2020. Visitors to Assisi can pay respects at his tomb in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, as well as explore sites linked to St Francis, the town's most celebrated religious figure. Assisi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is characterised by cobbled streets, greyish-pink stone buildings, and numerous churches, creating a mix of historical and spiritual significance. Beyond its religious appeal, Assisi and the surrounding Umbrian countryside offer picturesque landscapes, peaceful retreats such as Borgo Antichi Orti Assisi, and local culinary experiences including wine tasting and truffle-based cuisine. Flights from London Stansted to Perugia provide convenient access, making the town a compelling destination for both pilgrims and travellers seeking culture, history, and regional gastronomy. The combination of spiritual heritage and serene countryside has established Assisi as a distinctive and accessible Italian holiday destination.
