The Embassy of Italy to the Holy see hosted on the 4th of October the Conference “Francis and the voice of the others”.
Conference speaker was Professor Chiara Frugoni, an expert of history, especially of the Medieval period, the history of the Church and the figure of Saint Francis from Assisi.
Prof. Frugoni outlined the most particular and unusual aspects about Francis’ personality: very faithful to the Gospel, he was considered almost revolutionary because of his way of living and thinking. Francis’ distance from material goods and his open attitude towards Muslims have been the heart of Prof. Frugoni’s intervention.
