Red Rooftops of Cascia
Cascia is a small town in the mountains of the Umbrian valley in Italy. Cascia was founded during Roman times, even if nothing remains which remembers those times, due to devastation by barbaric tribes and the earthquakes which have always disturbed the town and the neighbouring cities. The city's medieval architectural jewels are worth a visit.

Trivia:
*When speaking of Cascia's history, it is necessary to mention its most illustrious personage, who illuminated the city and rendered it famous all over the world, even today: Saint Rita of Cascia. This nun, who was beatified in 1900, lived from 1381 until 1457. Respecting her father's wishes which led her to marry and not to enter an Augustine convent, as she would liked, St. Rita lived in continual terror of her husband for 18 years. Her exemplary life induced even her husband to convert. Nowadays this Saint, who is known to grant wishes, is venerated all over the world and many pilgrims undertake the journey to the Sanctuary of Saint Rita which has been dedicated to her memory.

Cascia si erge su un colle, a 700 metri sul livello del mare, circondato da verdi montagne boscose e lambito dalle fresche acque del fiume Corno.
