Birthplace of St. Francis (6)
I believe the answer is:
assisi
'birthplace of st francis' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for assisi that I've seen before include "St Francis's town" , "St Francis was born in this Italian town" , "Italian town, birthplace of St Francis" , "Town of saintly associations" , "saint from here" .)
