description: St. Francis is remembered for the simplicity of his life and for his deep sympathy with all living creatures. The spectacular bi-level church built in his memory on the side of a mountain in Assisi is full of frescoes by Giotto, Cimabue, Lorenzetti and Simone Martini that illustrate scenes from his life and from the Bible. With many full-color photographs, including details and full-page illustrations, this book provides complete documentation of the history and decorative program of the Basilica.
