During the obscure times of the middle ages an enlightened man walked along the ridges and valleys of the Apennines, looking for Gods signs in nature and talking to people about peace, humility and brotherhood. He was Francis of Assisi a mystical personage who fascinates, even now, people from all countries; his charisma and philosophy are recognized, also, by all religions of the World.
