Festa di san Francesco d'Assisi
Celebrazioni solenni, come sempre, ad Assisi, per la festa di san Francesco, patrono d'Italia. Dopo il ricordo del Transito, celebrato intorno alla Porziuncola di Santa Maria degli Angeli, stamattina è stata riaccesa la lampada sulla tomba del Poverello, presso le basiliche del Sacro Convento.
Va e ripara la mia casa. E' l'icona dell'invito che Gesù rivolge al Poverello di Assisi a fare da sfondo quest'anno alle celebrazioni per la festa del patrono d'Italia. Una casa in rovina che a molti ha fatto pensare alla situazione internazionale e in particolare a quella italiana.
La lampada sempre accesa sulla tomba di san Francesco nei prossimi 12 mesi sarà alimentata dall'olio offerto dal Trentino Alto Adige. Stamattina è stata riaccesa nella Basilica superiore del Sacro Convento dai sindaci di Trento e di Bolzano. Molti i pellegrini arrivati dalla regione, alla vigilia di un anno francescano che sarà concentrato su due anniversari in particolare.

Assisi: il bosco di San Francesco
Itinera vi porta nel bosco di San Francesco, ad Assisi, ma non per una semplice passeggiata naturalistica: la visita in questo splendido esempio di paesaggio rurale italiano di 64 ettari e oltre 800 anni di storia, infatti, è molto di più. Un vero e proprio cammino interiore alla scoperta di quel messaggio di perfetta armonia tra Uomo e Creato che San Francesco insegnò al mondo proprio a partire da questi luoghi. Per Itinera, un servizio in onda il 31 gennaio 2012 su Tv2000, a cura di Beatrice Vergari e Gaetano Panza.

Venerdì Santo - San Francesco di Assisi
La Passione di Gesù. Francesco compose dei brani tratti dalla bibbia per farli recitare dai suoi compagni per meglio comprendere quanto patito dal Cristo. Quelle parole vengono illustrate con gli affreschi di Pietro Lorenzetti (XIV sec., Basilica Inferiore di San Francesco).

Cappella Sclafani Palermo
Dal maggio scorso è stata resa fruibile al pubblico, Cappella Sclafani che si trova in Palermo, presso la Basilica di San Francesco d'Assisi.
Nel ricordo della storicità di questa antica famiglia nobiliare e
della funzione di sede (dal 1770), della Confraternita del Porto e Riporto di Maria Ss. Immacolata, mi appresto a promuovere con questo breve video, un luogo sicuramente ancora poco conosciuto che per quanto offerto, grazie anche agli interventi di restauro,
merita una attenta visita personale per apprezzarne l'atmosfera
e le opere esposte.

Places to see in ( Assisi - Italy )
Assisi is a hill town in central Italy’s Umbria region. It was the birthplace of St. Francis (1181–1226), one of Italy’s patron saints. The Basilica of St. Francis is a massive, 2-level church, consecrated in 1253. Its 13th-century frescoes portraying the life of St. Francis have been attributed to Giotto and Cimabue, among others. The crypt houses the saint’s stone sarcophagus.
As if cupped in celestial hands, with the plains spreading picturesquely below and Monte Subasio rearing steep and wooded above, the mere sight of Assisi in the rosy glow of dusk is enough to send pilgrims' souls spiralling to heaven. It is at this hour, when the pitter-patter of day tripper footsteps have faded and the town is shrouded in saintly silence, that the true spirit of St Francis of Assisi, born here in 1181, can be felt most keenly. Though certainly at its heart a religious destination, Assisi's striking beauty and pristinely preserved medieval centro storico and Unesco-listed Franciscan structures are a fabled haven that will compel and electrify visitors of any motive.
A holy city for Christians, Assisi is an eternal destination for pilgrims wanting to the see the places where Saint Francis was born, where he worked, and where he died. In this small center – propped up on the slopes of Mount Subasio – everything in sight seems to refer to the Saint, even if it is only remotely relevant to his life. Together with almost all its surrounding territory, Assisi was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the year 2000, described as constituting a unique example of continuous history: a city-sanctuary beginning with its Umbrian-Roman origins, through the Medieval Age and up until today.
The World Heritage Committee included on its list the Basilica and other sites important to the Franciscan Order, due to the fact that they represent an amalgamation of masterpieces stemming from creative human genius – aside from being a fundamental reference in European and international art history. In particular, the Basilica of St. Francis has been defined as an extraordinary example of an architectonic complex that has heavily influenced the development of art and architecture.
The celebration for St. Francis as Patron Saint of Italy occurs every October 4; he cultivated a humble and poor style of life, which is probably why he is Italy’s most beloved saint. In this Umbrian city, the Basilica dedicated to his name and life preserves the remains of the “mendicant of Assisi,” thus making it a destination for thousands upon thousands of religious pilgrims.
Having been the birthplace of the Franciscan Order since the Middle Ages, Assisi has been the center of the Franciscan Cult and the movement’s diffusion throughout the world, focusing on a message of peace and tolerance, especially in regard to other religions.
Francis died at the age of 44, and only two years later, he was canonized in an official Church ceremony in Assisi, on July 16, 1228. On that same day, Pope Gregory IX laid the first stone of the future Basilica, destined to become the “mother house” for the Franciscan Order.
However, the initial intention of those who planned it is not one-hundred percent clear. Even today, the critics have not been able to interpret the stylistic discrepancies between the Upper and Lower churches. The Sanctuary of Assisi is one of the oldest existing Gothic churches in Italy, and its walls are decorated with frescoes by Cimabue, Giotto, Simone Martini and Pietro Lorenzetti.
In this regard, no other church can compete with the Basilica at Assisi.

We saw it as a grace from God for the church which recently has been criticised a lot for the mistakes it has committed. We have seen that the Lord answered to the prayers of so many people, all these humble people, by giving us a pope who would make us believe again in the sanctity and the beauty of the church.''

12. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Frate Guglielmo Spirito, Argentinian Franciscan monk:
The choice of the name is linked to the figure of the saint because that is the one I heard with my own ears. For him St Francis is the epitome of an evangelical life, so the whole Church thinks he will bring great benefits because if there is one figure that elicits so much sympathy the world over because of his humble and peaceful nature it is St Francis. And if the Pope can be inspired by him it will be a blessing for everyone.
13. Spirito talking to another Franciscan
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Frate Guglielmo Spirito, Argentinian Franciscan monk:
Argentinians, we have a kind of quite deserved bad name around the world for being so proud without enough reasons to be so. For Argentinians it will be like winning the World Cup of soccer or something like that. I dare say that for a few time, Argentinians will be totally unbearable.

STORYLINE:
On Thursday celebrations were held at the Basilica of St Francis in Assisi following the election of Pope Francis on Wednesday.
Frate Alfio Lucci, a Franciscan priest had the privilege to hold the first Mass celebrating the election of the new pope.
Many people assumed Francis, the first Jesuit pope and the first non-European since the Middle Ages, chose his name after St. Francis of Assisi, the humble friar who dedicated his life to helping the poor.
But the pope himself has not yet confirmed which saint he chose to name himself after, whether St. Francis of Assisi, or St Francis Xavier, the founder of the Jesuits.
Lucci was truly excited and moved by Wednesday's nomination of the new Pope.
He considers the appointment of Pope Francis as a gift of God and compares it with the famous dream that Pope Innocent III had about St Francis supporting a tilting church:
We saw it as a grace from God for the church which recently has been criticised a lot for the mistakes it has committed. We have seen that the Lord answered to the prayers of so many people, all these humble people, by giving us a pope who would make us believe again in the sanctity and the beauty of the church.''
Frate Guglielmo Spirito, an Argentinian Franciscan monk said the Pope's choice of the name was linked to the figure of the saint: For him St Francis is the epitome of an evangelical life, so the whole Church thinks he will bring great benefits because if there is one figure that elicits so much sympathy the world over because of his humble and peaceful nature it is St Francis. And if the Pope can be inspired by him it will be a blessing for everyone, said Spirito.
