Francesco
The life of St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226), as recounted by his followers who gather after his death to tell stories so that Leone can record them: a privileged and vigorous youth, a prisoner of war, an heir who renounces his father and gives all to the poor, a beggar for others, and an inspiration to friends who embrace the Gospels' life of poverty.
