Davide Rondoni, poet and president of the National Committee for the Eighth Centenary of the Death of Saint Francis of Assisi; Alessandro Sortino, writer, journalist, and television writer. Introduction by Letizia Bardazzi, president of the Italian Association of Cultural Centers.

Eight hundred years after his death, Francis of Assisi continues to elude easy simplifications: an ecological icon, a symbol of pacifism, a picture-perfect saint. The "Canticle of the Creatures" is, in fact, one of the most radical texts of Western civilization. Praise is not an escape from reality, but a more lucid perspective on it. A dialogue between literature and life, on the occasion of the centenary, to attempt to restore the true measure of a man who loved God, the Church, and his people above all else.
