“Laudato si´, mi´ Signore, per sora nostra Madre Terra”

Embark on an unforgettable journey inspired by the Canticle of Creatures, one of the most revered masterpieces of global spiritual tradition and the oldest known text in Italian literature, authored by Saint Francis of Assisi.

As we celebrate 800 years since its completion in 1225, The Canticle offers a unique immersive experience that brings to life Saint Francis's hymn to nature and creation through an innovative artistic setup.

This 30-minute journey is a result of an international collaboration between California-based San Francesco Productions and the award-winning Daring House audiovisual studio in Rome-Berlin, providing an unparalleled experience

Today´s technology and art meet the words of Saint Francis, an ecological and peace hymn that remains ever relevant

With 7,000 square feet of projections across five screens and cutting-edge immersive sound, the installation creates an unforgettable multi-sensory experience.

Employing the latest visual technologies, The Canticle melds digital tools and historical repertoires on the ancient surfaces of Monte Frumentario.

Dreamlike images flow in harmony with the sound. A synergy of creative languages that promises an unforgettable exploration of light, sound, and spirituality.

Friar Alessandro, the voice of peace

The singing of Friar Alessandro, known globally for its purity and power, dialogues with the immersive images, creating a lyrical weave that moves and inspires.

His unique onscreen performance, in conversation with the historic spaces of Monte Frumentario in Assisi, offers you an unusual encounter with the spiritual depth of Saint Francis's vision.

Echoes of creation, a spiritual soundscape

Step into a world where each sound transcends the ordinary. Producer, musical composer, and concept originator André Ripa's music channels the serene and imaginative essence of the Canticle, blending the ancient with the contemporary to create a soundscape that speaks directly to the soul.

A dance of art and spirituality that narrates our connection to the earth and each other, echoing Saint Francis's call for peace and ecological awareness.
