Francis of ---, Italian saint (6)

I believe the answer is:

assisi

(Other definitions for assisi that I've seen before include "Umbrian town" , "Italian town associated with St Francis" , "Home town of St Francis" , "Italian town, birthplace of St Francis" , "St Francis was born in this Italian town" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
