Birthplace of St Francis, founder of an order of friars (6)

I believe the answer is:

assisi

(Other definitions for assisi that I've seen before include "town, in Italy" , "Homeplace of St Francis" , "saint from here" , "Hence Francis" , "Italian town associated with St Francis" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
