| St. Francis of Assisi Patron of Italy |
The Catholic Church yesterday celebrated the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint 'Italy and holy one of the most remembered and loved by the people, even Monopoli. The patron saint of Assisi, in his early youth devoted to all sorts of entertainment not just "a saint" and arms, suffered - as many know - a miraculous conversion in the church of San Damiano, where a crucifix would have revealed a desire to see repair his church, which stood on a small portion of land, a porziuncola - from hence the name of the church a. In addition to the episodes from the life of the saint among the Humble Humble, it is important the relationship between the city of Monopoli and St. Francis of Assisi nearly competitor of Francis of Paola, the patron saint of seafarers and Monopoly. The baroque church, which is close and almost at the limit of the historical center, was built in the eighteenth century by the architect Michael Colangiulo and shows a Baroque simple and straightforward, yet steeped in Renaissance style. The day which marks its festivities, October 4, represents in our city a watershed between summer and autumn, in the not too distant day when he was in the countryside, began the preparation of cooked quince (precious condiment for Christmas folder) and the scent of roasted chestnuts began and begins to permeate the great rooms and master farmers. Far from the solemn pomp of other places, San Francisco - now the only remaining witness a festival in the church and not more celebrated outside - Monopoly is a burst of sweetness time between the summer too excited in September and November solemn of the dead.
