Why not just search online?
Separate facts describe separate monuments. A route shows how the city fits together.
Searching place by place can separate the Basilica of Saint Francis, Piazza del Comune and the Roman remains from the streets between them.
The Assisi walk keeps those places in sequence, using the route to connect the city with the life and legacy of Saint Francis.
