Created for the 46th edition of the Meeting per l'Amicizia fra i Popoli, the exhibition traces the figure of San Francesco d'Assisi, his preaching and the legacy he left eight hundred years after his death, combining historical and iconographic material. The inauguration is on Saturday 31 October at 9 pm, with a presentation meeting featuring the poet Davide Rondoni and fra Matteo Brena. The initiative is organised by the Centro Culturale Don Francesco Ricci with the patronage of the Comune di Cecina.
