Diocese of Bergamo to host theatrical performance “Francesco di terra e di vento“

The Diocese of Bergamo will host the theatrical performance Francesco di terra e di vento to mark the 800 years since the death of the Saint of Assisi. The San Francesco parish, the Missione santa Rosa da Lima, and the Ufficio per la pastorale dei Migranti organized the event.

The first performance takes place Thursday, September 24, 2026, at 20.45 at the parish church. A second performance is scheduled for Friday, October 2, 2026, at 21.00 at the church of S. Antonio da Padova in Bergamo.

Manlio Casali, Manuel Gregna, and Giovanni Soldani perform the play, which is directed by Umberto Zanoletti with dramaturgical collaboration from Giulio Minuscoli. The production portrays Francesco as a man among men and sometimes before God, moving away from traditional iconography. Admission is free and open to all.
