Norton's Theatre for One
The Kiosk, harking back to my days at the Odeon, Leeds, when I was an usharette, "king cones, kioras, butterkist..." I'd shout as I decended backwards down the centre isle, praying I wouldn't trip.
Roll up, roll up, buy your programmes, drinks and refreshments right here at the Norton's Theatre for One kiosk.

Interior of San Damiano
This is the interior courtyard of San Damiano, in Assisi. St Clare and St Francis lived here. Its a bit Rachel Whiteread-ish. I sat in this space and it was so meditative and peaceful, I could almost feel the prayers of hundreds of years pressed into this shape - the shape of the interior cloister, which would have been enclosed at the time of St Clare (1290 ish).
Porziuncola
This is the real Porziuncola in Assisi. Why is it special?
- some hermits built it in 350AD and relics of Our Lady were placed in it.
- St Bennedict live there
- St Francis recieved his vocation there in 1250ish
- St Francis re built the chapel with his brothers
- St Clare lived there
- St Francis was buried under it - until he was moved
