“Francesco” Aldo Cazzullo & Angelo Branduardi – Monday 3 August In 2026 Italy will celebrate its patron saint “the most Italian of saints”: St Francis who died 800 years ago. Aldo Cazzullo and Angelo Branduardi recount the saint’s story – or rather his stories. St Francis of devotion: the wolf the sermon to the birds the stigmata. St Francis of history: his conversion his renunciation of worldly goods his relationship with the Pope the founding of the Order the crusade his meeting with the Sultan. St Francis the poet: the Canticle of the Creatures. The great Franciscans from the Tertiaries to the saints right up to the first Pope named Francis. Through words music and images the figure of a marvellous saint returns and a precious piece of Italian identity is reconstructed.
