Greve in Chianti celebrates the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis with an afternoon that combines spirituality and theater. The event takes place on the panoramic terrace of the Museo di San Francesco, one of the most evocative spots in the village, overlooking the Chianti hills. After the Holy Mass at 5:00 PM, actor Alessandro Calonaci performs "Francesco, uno di noi che divenne santo", accompanied by Marco Gallenga on violin. The play delves into the human dimension of the Saint, tracing the journey of a man before he became an icon. Throughout the day, the Museo di Arte Sacra is open with free admission, an opportunity to discover the collections and the history of the Franciscan complex.
