Francis of Assisi and the Perfect Garment.

Description

Although he was connected to the world of luxury fabrics through the family business, Francis of Assisi distanced himself from it with spectacular gestures, such as fully undressing in public to return all his clothes to his father; at the same time, he showed an attention and sensitivity towards garments that only an expert can have. A novel and fascinating approach that runs through the costumes of Franco Zeffirelli's masterpiece "Brother Sun, Sister Moon," biographical testimonies, and artistic representations.
