The Journey Begins Here<\/h3><\/div>

Saint Francis\u2019s transformation into \u2018Saint Francis\u2019 began right here in Foligno. In the lively medieval marketplace of Piazza della Repubblica, he sold both cloth and his horse to raise funds for the restoration of the church of San Damiano in Assisi.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

It was in this square that a voice, first heard by the young Francis in the church, called him to leave behind the privileges of his wealthy merchant upbringing. This life-changing moment set him on the path to becoming the \u2018poor man of Assisi\u2019 we revere today. Stumbling upon this monument offers an opportunity to reflect on our own relationship with material possessions.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The work recalls the constellation Ursa Major and develops around the relationship between the monuments and architecture scattered across the urban landscape. Each star is connected to the next according to an astronomy of form that symbolises the order and harmony in which the city is immersed.
\nAlmost all Umbrian villages live in an ancient space that often has not known significant transformations for centuries; in these contexts, contemporaneity insinuates itself and works when the work is conceived not only through analogies with the environment, but also through divergences and necessary actualisations. Indeed, one lives in the city, not only between earth and sky (stars), but also between Google Earth and the Cloud (QR code).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
