One of the few saints who is also highly valued outside of Christianity is San Francesco, known in the German-speaking world as Francis of Assisi. Francis was born in Assisi in 1181/82 and died as early as 1226. In his youth, the son of wealthy parents, he was more of a bon vivant, but later he turned to Christ. In the half-ruined little church of San Damiano, on the hillside outside the city walls of Assisi, he was praying one day and heard the voice of Christ coming down from the cross, urging him to “rebuild his church”. At first he took this request literally and restored the church building, later he came to realize that this is primarily about the church as the community of believers.

Francis became a role model for many people, they joined him and the "Order of the Friars Minor" (Ordo Fratrum Minorum) of Francis of Assisi came into being. Today in the broad Franciscan religious family there are three male branches: the Franciscans, the Minorites and the Capuchins; and two females: the Franciscans and the Poor Clares. In addition, there is the "Third" or "Secular" order, which women and men who do not take the classic vows of the order (poverty, chastity and obedience) and continue to live in their family and their profession can join.

In 1222 during his stay in Gaeta, Francis of Assisi founded a small convent on the slopes of Monte Orlando which in 1285, thanks to the strong devotion of the inhabitants and the funding of Charles II of Anjou and Ferdinand II of the Two Sicilies, saw the construction of a larger church in honor of the saint.To reach it you have to cross an uphill road that winds its way from the historic center, but once you reach it your efforts will be amply rewarded by the breathtaking view that overlooks the entire gulf of Gaeta.
