Every month in dialogue in a different square in Italy to celebrate the Saint of Assisi and his passage.
The appointment will be broadcast in live streaming on the sanfrancesco.org website.
'The square of Gubbio - said Father Enzo Fortunato - places the great question of social justice at the center of the debate. Aggression, poverty, hostile words, marginalization and violence have their cause in social injustice. The best known episode in the life of St. Francis, the encounter with the wolf, shows how many problems must be faced with dialogue and proximity '. After Assisi, Foligno, Alviano, Ascoli Piceno, Perugia, Ancona, Alessandria, Rome, Bologna and Santa Maria degli Angeli the journey continues towards Gubbio where, according to the Franciscan sources, arriving in the city 'At the time that Saint Francis lived in the city of Agobbio , in the district of Agobbio a very large, terrible and ferocious wolf appeared, which not only devoured animals, but also men;in so much that all the citizens were in great fear, but that he often approached the city; and everyone went armed ... the said wolf approaches Saint Francis, with his mouth open ... Saint Francis makes the sign of the most holy cross, and calls him to himself and said: Come here, brother wolf, I command you from part of Christ that you do not harm either me or a person. '
The event will be broadcast in live streaming on the sanfrancesco.org website, on the Facebook channel of the editor of the magazine Padre Enzo Fortunato and on the YouTube page of the San Francesco magazine.
