Welcome to the Sorriso di San Francesco
Our refuge is located in the valley where, according to legend, St. Francis of Assisi met the talking wolf of Gubbio. Incidentally, it is the only species-appropriate refuge in Assisi. Since 1997, we have been accomodating over 120 animals (horses, donkeys, dogs, cats, sheep and goats). This property is owned by Pro Animale für Tiere in Not e.V.
