About this event
For the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis, the Castello dei Conti Guidi shows medieval manuscripts from the Biblioteca Rilliana, originally from the Sacred Convent of Assisi, alongside works tracing the saint’s iconography over the centuries. The project extends to the Cappuccini convent at Ponte a Poppi and to Camaldoli. It runs until 4 October 2026.
