A focus of his work was [[landscape]] [[aesthetics]]. In ''Il paesaggio e l'estetica'' (1973) Assunto shows that people search for and create their own landscape, both physically and spiritually. In several works he develops a theory of the garden. He was influenced by the German romantic view of nature. In ''Ipotesi e postille sull'estetica medioevale'' (1975) he deals with [[Dante]]'s poetry. ''Intervengono i personaggi (col permesso degli autori)'' (1977) is a collection of satirical-philosophical stories.<ref name="Treccani 2023 t475">{{cite web | title=poetica | website=Treccani | date=2023-07-28 | url=https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/poetica_(Enciclopedia-Dantesca)/ | language=it | access-date=2024-02-13}}</ref>
Assunto distinguishes between vertical (anagogic) and horizontal significance. Vertical is the exploration of the past and the depths of the soul, which gives meaning to the present. Horizontally (socially or historically) significant is the reference to other parts of the world, to the polis, social life, the world of institutions.
