INDIETROSaint Francis is the Italian Patron Saint, that is why the most widespread name in Italy are Francesco and Francesca. He was a poor friar who lived in Assisi in XIII Cent. and devoted himself to the poor and the environment.
He also travelled around Italy, founding new convents and announcing the Gospel.
He also dropped around Subiaco with Cardinal Ugolino, who later would have become Pope. Anyway, a monk, during his visit to the Monastery of Saint Benedict in Subiaco, took a portrait of him: that is the most ancient and unique original portrait of the Saint. The Abbot at that time donated him a little church by the river. That church became a convent, the cloister of St. Francis in Subiaco.
