Description
Content description from WorldCat (https://www.worldcat.org/title/poverello-the-story-of-st-francis-of-assisi/oclc/865142072):
The astonishing life of a man who changed the world. Sometimes dismissed in legend as the mad monk who spoke to the birds, Francis' appeal is as strong as ever. The most tender and non-violent of men, to many Francis is perhaps the only genuine successor to Jesus Christ that Christianity has so far produced. But there was much more to him that mere pastoral simplicity: he was an unusual and attractive mixture of paragon and show-off, warrior and peace-maker, non-conformist and staunch son of the Church. This classic programme was filmed in 1982 on location in the ancient settings of Assisi, Rome and Canterbury and tells the story of St. Francis, his life and his work.
