Telling the most significant phases of the Saint's life taken from the First Life of Francis by Thomas of Celano, the Saint's first biographer and a man of remarkable ecclesiastical culture, is a touching experience.
This source, intended for the entire church community, knows how to capture the ascetic values of "man Francis," always placing his solid and decisive evangelical stance at the forefront; the language used expresses the elegance of a style that intertwines poetic images with carefully chosen expressions.
Weaving into the narrative, sometimes as a sound background and other times as a commentary on the events, the listening of music from the time reinforces the words and invites one to dwell in time.
Diving from episode to episode in the projection of images taken from the fresco cycle of the Upper Basilica of Assisi, authored by Giotto and his namesake school, inspired by the text of the Major Legend by Bonaventure of Bagnoregio, which constituted the "official" biography of Francis for the friars, makes the proposal a true contemplative journey.
Event featuring Carlo Andrea Lucani, voice in narration, musical inserts by InUnum ensemble, immersive projections by Paolo Mezzalira, and concept and direction by Elisabetta Brusa.
The event is free of charge with a conscious donation.
