On the shore of the diminutive Isola Maggiore in Central Italy's Lake Trasimeno St. Francis of Assisi passed Lent in 1211 with nothing but a single loaf of bread to sustain him, after which he returned to celebrate Easter with his "brothers and sisters" at their retreat outside Cortona. This spot, marked by a tiny, rough-stone chapel, was where he first came ashore and later embarked after his 40 days of solitude.
