Make sure you have enough gas in the tank, because Assisi is worth making a detour for. Situated 25 miles from Matelica, it’s home to some fantastic attractions, such as Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and Basilica of Santa Chiara. Perugia, 35 miles away, is another road-trip destination that’s worth the journey. Visit Piazza IV Novembre and Rocca Paolina, two must-see sights in the area.
