San Francesco D'Assisi. Uomo di Pace (2009)

The history and the fascinating places that have seen the birth and growth of Saint Francis of Assisi, the most human of saints, the holiest of men. One who has had the courage to give up everything to give love to others. Patron of Italy, revolutionary figure of the Christian Church, messenger and ambassador of peace in the Middle East: all these descriptions were attributed to St. Francis, the "Poverello of Assisi". A boy who lived in wealth and chose poverty, who dreamed of the glory of arms and instead became an ambassador of peace and love. On him much it has been said and many people know his history and his existential parable, always new details continue to be added on his life yet. This documentary doesn't want to resolve the "Franciscan question", that is the quest for truth Francis by rediscovering the contemporary historical sources, or to get in touch with this criticism. It tells the epic story of the life of one of the greatest Saints in the world, narrated in a popular and original way. It's a new interpretation of the Franciscan sources, an updated account full of details and anecdotes about his spiritual and human journey as man and as saint.
