"Art Tells Stories: Scenes from the Life of Saint Francis" - Exhibition of works from September 20 to October 18
On the occasion of the 800th anniversary of the Transit of Saint Francis, the fourth edition of Francescanamente presents an exhibition with the support and patronage of the Municipality of Verucchio, in collaboration with the Cammini di Francesco association in Emilia Romagna, entitled "Art Tells: Scenes from the Life of Saint Francis."
The exhibition is a visual narrative that, through paintings, commemorative medals, drawings, engravings, and illustrated books, traces the figurative fortunes of Francis's iconography across the 18th and 19th centuries.
Reconstructions of scenes from the life of Francis will be exhibited to illustrate this story.
The scenes were taken from paintings of Franciscan iconography.
2023 – The Nativity Scene of Greccio
2024 – Meeting of Clare and Francis at the Porziuncola
2025 – The Canticle of the Creatures
2026 – The Passing of Francis
Each year, a scene, complete with captions, has been created for the Nativity Scene Village of Pennabilli, under the patronage of the Diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro, in collaboration with the Associazione Cammini di Francesco in Emilia-Romagna.
The reconstructions of the scenes are made with articulated statues and handmade costumes made from antique and recycled fabrics.
