THE ROAD/LOOKING FOR A NEW LIFE

Francis found himself lost in the world that surrounded him. His family was foreign to him. His mother always believed he would become a man of God, and his father would expect him to carry on the duties of the family business, but this was a life that was not his. Lost, he became aloof to the responsibilities of normal life. He was not to become a great warrior to make his family proud, he was not to become a wealthy merchant like his father. Feeling the need to leave home, he went searching for a new life. Francis wandered the countryside of Assisi, living and breathing freedom, noticing all the beauty around him. He especially loved the caves and silent pathways of the beautiful Mount Subasio. What was he looking for?

LA VIA/IN CERCA DI UNA NUOVA VITA

Francesco si trovo smarrito nel mondo che lo circondava. La sua faruiglia era per lui estranea. Sua modre avera serupre creduto che sarebbe diventato un uomo di Dio, mentre suo padre si aspettava che portasse avanti i doveri di famiglia, ma cio non era una vita per lui. Senterido il bisogno di lusciare la suo casa, se ne ando in cerca di una nuova vita. Francesco vago per le campagne di Assisi, vivendo e respirando la liberta, notanolo tutta la bellezza attorno a lui. Particolarmente amava le grotte e i sentieri silenziosi dell’ ameno Monte Subasio. Di che cosa era in cerca?
