The monument dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi is located in Piazza della Repubblica in Foligno and commemorates the event of 1205/1206, when the young Francis sold his father's fabrics and his horse to raise money for the restoration of the church of San Damiano, thus beginning his religious vocation. The work, designed by architect Pietro Battoni, is cast in bronze and installed on the façade of a historic building. Two hands emerge from the stone to symbolically offer the fabrics sold by the saint, evoking the gesture of renunciation of material goods and the beginning of a spiritual journey.
