The life of Saint Francis, born in 1181, highlights his transformation from a military man to a revered Catholic friar and founder of the Franciscans. Celebrated as the patron saint of animals and the environment, he inspired ceremonies honoring creatures on his feast day, October 4. Notably, he championed the idea that commoners should pray in their native dialect, leading him to write in Umbria instead of Latin. His literary contributions are recognized for their significant religious and cultural value, marking him as one of the first Italian poets.
