Walls - he added - that will soon be able to be visited by tourists and pilgrims as well. that will reach Assisi "." Now we have stamped the door and tomorrow we will be able to enter it also as a symbol of a Church that returns to that door and is converted to the Gospel as Francis did ".
The reopening is also one of the initiatives as part of the celebrations for the five years of the Sanctuary of the stripping, which will be celebrated with a program of events entitled "#Nulladiproprio. For a more humane economy", which will also see the delivery of the international award Francesco d'Assisi and Carlo Acutis, for an economy of fraternity.
