Lectures: The Franciscan Legacy in Civil Society. The Extraordinary Relevance of Its Message

Thursday, November 5, 2026

The legacy of Saint Francis is not merely a part of history; it offers concrete answers to the challenges of our time.

As part of the exhibition From Franciscan Preaching to the Monti di Pietà, Fondazione Roma presents an in-depth discussion entitled The Franciscan Legacy in Civil Society.

Together with Professor Stefano Zamagni and the exhibition curator, Brother Lorenzo Turchi, O.F.M., we will explore the enduring relevance of Franciscan thought and how its values of fraternity, mercy, and respect for the common good continue to shape contemporary society.
