The Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi is one of the great enduring architectural beauties of the world, and on the 21st of September, it will be available to tour in SL. This build is a joint project between Wedoit s.a.s. (Assisi) with the partnership of Metafuturing S.l. (Madrid) and Euromedia Italia (Terni). From the press release:

"The Basilica, built with original proportions and sizes, is unique in its quality and details, and in its interior churces avatars can enjoy many renaissance paintings of Giotto, Cimabue, Pietro Lorenzetti and many others. Every painting has a caption explaining the brief details, just by clicking on it. It's also possible to wear an HUD (Heads Up Display), built by Wedoit too, to have a complete virtual visit, accessing textual and audio informations about the paintings. The device is currently available in italian and english languages only, and it is distributed at the two entrances of the churces."
