In 2026, Italy will celebrate its patron saint, "the most Italian of saints": Saint Francis, who died 800 years ago. Aldo Cazzullo and Angelo Branduardi tell the story of the saint, or rather, the stories. The Saint Francis of devotion: the wolf, the sermon to the birds, the stigmata. The Saint Francis of history: his conversion, his dispossession, his relationship with the Pope, the birth of the order, the crusade, his meeting with the sultan. Saint Francis the poet: the Canticle of the Creatures. The great Franciscans, from the tertiaries—Dante, Columbus—to the saints: Saint Anthony, Padre Pio. Up to the first Pope named Francis.
Through words, music, and images, the figure of a marvelous saint returns, reconstructing a precious piece of Italian identity.
