Ad Amelia il festival dell’ecologia integrale nel centenario francescano

In brief

Amelia will host a festival of integral ecology to mark the eighth centenary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi.

The event draws on the teachings of Saint Francis, who suggested that true conversion involves practicing mercy. According to Simone Baroncia, the festival also reflects themes from Pope Leo XIV's encyclical, Magnifica humanitas, which proposes moving from structures of sin that cause war and death toward structures of justice that foster peace.
