The monument "San Francesco in Cammino" is located on Monte Palazzello, at an altitude of 1,350 m, along the border line between Fuscaldo and San Benedetto Ullano. It is a graphic project by Alessandro Mantuano made in corten steel by Domenico Feoli and financed thanks to private donations.
The monument consists of three silhouettes. The first represents Francesco di Paola, at a young age, leading the way, carrying the stick above which a stylized sun has been placed which represents the logo of our Way, which in turn recalls the emblem of the Order of Minims . The choice to pay homage to a young and dynamic Friar has historical reasons. In fact, Francesco frequently crossed the woods to collect wood at the time of the construction of the convent of Paola. At that time - he was just over thirty years old - he personally devoted himself to the work, and this is the reason why we wanted to commemorate an energetic young man, barefoot - as was his habit - and who, with sure, chart the way forward.
The silhouettes of two pilgrims following Francis were placed a short distance away. These two figures represent a tribute to all the wayfarers, hikers and pilgrims who, even today after centuries, decide to tackle the Way in the footsteps of Saint Francis. The man and woman hold hands as a sign of adherence to the message of charity launched by the Patron Saint of Calabria.
Deliberately, the monument has no particular artistic ambitions, it is discreet (it can be removed), and it was made of a non-precious material in order to be consistent with the humble and sober lifestyle of Francis, the Saint of Lenten penance.
