Franciscan Conversations in Gargnano: A Tribute to the Canticle of the Creatures

On September 26, 2026, the enchanting setting of Gargnano will host an event of profound spiritual and cultural depth. The Church of San Francesco will be the stage for “Sorella Natura. Il Cantico delle Creature”, a key appointment in the “Franciscan Conversations” cycle promoted by the Ateneo di Salò.

The evening explores the unbreakable bond between St. Francis’s spirituality and nature, commemorating the eighth centenary of the Saint’s passing. Professor Pietro Gibellini will guide the audience through an analysis of Franciscan poetic sensitivity, drawing from his recent work “San Francesco poeta”. The narrative path will be completed by the sounds of the Palma Choralis Ensemble, performing rediscovered polyphonies from the Lombard Franciscan tradition, dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries.

The experience will begin in the convent cloister, famous for its refined phytomorphic capitals, and continue inside the church, where music and words will merge into a timeless dialogue. A moment of rare beauty, realized through the synergy between the municipal administration, the Parish of San Martino, and the essential support of local institutions.
