San Francesco is a basilica church in Siena, Tuscany, Italy. It was erected in c. 1228-1255 and later enlarged in the 14th-15th centuries, the original Romanesque edifice being turned into the current large Gothic one. The basilica is on the Egyptian Cross plan, with a nave covered by spans and a transept, according to type favoured by the Mendicant Orders, which needed spaces capable to house large crowds of faithful.
The current interior looks rather sober after a fire in 1655 and the restoration of 1885-1892, when many of the Baroque altars were demolished (some of the paintings has been however returned in recent times). The neo-Gothic façade, flanked by the 1763 campanile, dates to the early 20th century. The medieval marble decoration and the 15th century portal were removed in that occasion.
The counterfaçade houses the remains of two 14th century sepulchres, as well as two large fragmentary frescoes from the city gates of Porta Romana and Porta Pispini: a Coronation of the Virgin by Sassetta and Sano di Pietro (1447–1450) and a Nativity by Il Sodoma (1531). Also visible is the ancient 15th century portal by Francesco di Giorgio Martini.
Among the numerous artworks in the church, are Madonna with Child and Saints by Jacopo Zucchi, an expressive Crucifixion by Pietro Lorenzetti and a fresco by his brother Ambrogio, a Prayer of St James by Giuseppe Nicola Nasini, a Martyrdom of St Martina by Pietro da Cortona and a Madonna with Child frescoed by Jacopo di Mino del Pellicciaio.

SIENA - Basilica di San Francesco in 4K
La basilica di San Francesco è tra le più importanti chiese di Siena, situata in piazza San Francesco. Eretta nel XIII secolo in stile romanico fu ingrandita nei due secoli successivi nell'immensa struttura gotica attuale. Conserva al suo interno la pisside con le Sacre Particole.
Il miracolo delle Sacre Particole
Il 14 agosto 1730 venne rubata dalla basilica una pisside con 351 particole (ostie) consacrate. Tre giorni dopo, il 17 agosto, le particole vennero ritrovate nella cassetta delle elemosine della vicina Collegiata di Santa Maria in Provenzano (non si conoscono i motivi del furto, né della restituzione da parte del ladro). Durante la messa, al momento dell'elevazione, un chierichetto si fermò davanti a una cassetta per elemosina e scorse del bianco; aperta, vi furono trovate le ostie. Per motivi igienici venne deciso di non consumare le particole, in quanto la cassetta in cui vennero ritrovate era piena di polvere e ragnatele. Le ostie vennero riportate il giorno dopo con una grande processione in San Francesco. I fedeli chiesero di conservare le particole per poterle adorare a fini riparatori. Le ostie vennero messe prima in un corporale poi, dopo la visita canonica del Padre Generale, in una nuova pisside fatta sigillare. Dopo circa trent'anni, la pisside fu aperta e si constatò che le ostie erano integre e intatte; non ci si pose il problema, fu chiusa e posta nel tabernacolo. Circa 12 volte fu fatta questa operazione. Dopo oltre 280 anni le particole sono ancora integre, a dispetto della loro normale natura a ridursi in poltiglia e polvere entro circa due anni. Nel 1914, al momento della riapertura, ci si meravigliò che le ostie fossero ancora intatte. Analisi chimiche e biologiche effettuate nel 1914 dimostrarono come le particole erano ancora composte da farina di pane azzimo, inalterate nell'aspetto, prive di batteri, acari e muffe, che invece avevano attaccato le pareti interne della pisside che le conteneva. Si gridò al miracolo. La Chiesa cattolica attribuisce questo fenomeno soprannaturale alla reale presenza del corpo di Gesù Cristo nelle particole consacrate, in accordo con il dogma eucaristico. Questo viene considerato dai credenti cattolici un miracolo permanente, in quanto le ostie non appaiono deteriorate lungo i secoli.
Le particole sono conservate in inverno e in estate in due cappelle diverse all'interno della basilica, rispettivamente nel transetto destro e sinistro. Delle 351 particole originarie ne sono rimaste poco più di 200, non perché - come scrive Vittorio Messori - quelle che mancano siano state distrutte dal tempo ma perché, fra le tante 'prove' eseguite, ci fu anche il comunicare con esse delle persone che ne saggiassero il gusto. Che è risultato, esso pure, non alterato.
Il 10 settembre 2014, a cento anni dall'ultima analisi, è stata effettuata una nuova ricognizione sulle ostie, che «conferma che le sacre particole conservate nella basilica di San Francesco, a Siena, si stanno ancora mantenendo miracolosamente intatte, contro ogni legge naturale

Assisi:
Assisi is a town and comune of Italy in the province of Perugia in the Umbria region, on the western flank of Monte Subasio.
It was the birthplace of St. Francis, who founded the Franciscan religious order in the town in 1208, and St. Clare (Chiara d'Offreducci), the founder of the Poor Sisters, which later became the Order of Poor Clares after her death. The 19th-century Saint Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows was also born in Assisi.
Around 1000 BC a wave of immigrants settled in the upper Tiber valley as far as the Adriatic Sea, and also in the neighborhood of Assisi. These were the Umbrians, living in small fortified settlements on high ground. From 450 BC these settlements were gradually taken over by the Etruscans. The Romans took control of central Italy by the Battle of Sentinum in 295 BC. They built the flourishing municipium Asisium on a series of terraces on Monte Subasio. Roman remains can still be found in Assisi: city walls, the forum (now Piazza del Comune), a theatre, an amphitheatre and the Temple of Minerva (now transformed into the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva). In 1997, the remains of a Roman villa were also discovered containing several well preserved rooms with frescoes and mosaics in a condition rarely found outside sites such as Pompei.
In 238 AD Assisi was converted to Christianity by bishop Rufino, who was martyred at Costano. According to tradition, his remains rest in the Cathedral Church of San Rufino in Assisi.
The Ostrogoths of king Totila destroyed most of the town in 545. Assisi then came under the rule of the Lombards as part of the Lombard and then Frankish Duchy of Spoleto.
The thriving commune became an independent Ghibelline commune in the 11th century. Constantly struggling with the Guelph Perugia, it was during one of those battles, the battle at Ponte San Giovanni, that Francesco di Bernardone, (Saint Francis of Assisi), was taken prisoner, setting in motion the events that eventually led him to live as a beggar, renounce the world and establish the Order of Friars Minor.
The city, which had remained within the confines of the Roman walls, began to expand outside these walls in the 13th century. In this period the city was under papal jurisdiction. The Rocca Maggiore, the imperial fortress on top of the hill above the city, which had been plundered by the people in 1189, was rebuilt in 1367 on orders of the papal legate, cardinal Gil de Albornoz.
In the beginning Assisi fell under the rule of Perugia and later under several despots, such as the soldier of fortune Biordo Michelotti, Gian Galeazzo Visconti and his successor Francesco I Sforza, dukes of Milan, Jacopo Piccinino and Federico II da Montefeltro, lord of Urbino. The city went into a deep decline through the plague of the Black Death in 1348.
The city came again under papal jurisdiction under the rule of Pope Pius II (1458–1464).
In 1569 construction was started of the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli. During the Renaissance and in later centuries, the city continued to develop peacefully, as the 17th-century palazzi of the Bernabei and Giacobetti attest.Now the site of many a pilgrimage, Assisi is linked in legend with its native son, St. Francis. The gentle saint founded the Franciscan order and shares honors with St. Catherine of Siena as the patron saint of Italy. He is remembered by many, even non-Christians, as a lover of nature (his preaching to an audience of birds is one of the legends of his life).
Assisi was hit by two devastating earthquakes, that shook Umbria in September 1997. But the recovery and restoration have been remarkable, although much remains to be done. Massive damage was caused to many historical sites, but the major attraction, the Basilica di San Francesco, reopened less than 2 years later.

Places to see in ( Siena - Italy ) Basilica di San Domenico
The Basilica of San Domenico, also known as Basilica Cateriniana, is a basilica church in Siena, Tuscany, Italy, one of the most important in the city. The church was begun in 1226-1265, but was enlarged in the 14th century resulting in the Gothic appearance it has now. However, aspects of the Gothic structure were subsequently destroyed by fires in 1443, 1456 and 1531, and further damage later resulted from military occupation (1548-1552).
It is a large edifice built, like many contemporary edifices of the mendicant orders, in bricks, with a lofty bell tower on the left (this was reduced in height after an earthquake in 1798). The interior is on the Egyptian cross plan with a huge nave covered by trusses and with a transept featuring high chapels. The church contains several relics of St. Catherine of Siena, whose family house is nearby.
Cappella delle Volte is an old praying place of Dominican nuns, connected to numerous episode of sanctity of Catherine of Siena's life. It houses the Canonization of St. Catherine by Mattia Preti, flanked by two 1602 paintings by Crescenzio Gambarelli. Other works by the latter are also present. The main wall has a portrait of St. Catherine.
the left wall of the nave has a Madonna with Child by Francesco di Vannuccio, framed by an Eternal with Saint by Il Sodoma and by a predella with fifteen Stories of the New Testament by Antonio Magagna. Rutilio Manetti painted a St. Anthony Abbot's Exorcism, Sebastiano Folli a St. Catherine of Alexandria and Francesco Vanni a St. Hyacinth Saving a Statue of the Madonna from a Fire.
The altars on the right side are decorated by a Appearance of the Virgin by Stefano Volpi (1630), a Nativity of the Virgin by Alessandro Casolani (1585) and a reliquary of St. Catherine's relics. They are followed by the St. Catherine Chapel, with, in the centre, an altar housing the saint's head and thumb. Il Sodoma provided an Fainting and Ecstasy of St. Catherine and Death of Niccolò di Tuldo for the chapel, while by Francesco Vanni is a St. Catherine's Exorcism (1593-1596). The 15th century marble pavement, featuring Orpheus and animals, is attributed to Francesco di Giorgio.

Convent of Saint Francis, Pienza, Siena, Tuscany, Italy, Europe
The history of the Chiostro di Pienza is closely linked to the history of the city of Pienza; the ancient structure was in fact at the center of the development of one of the most characteristic towns of Tuscany. In 1996 the historic center of Pienza was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the beginning of the fourteenth century, with the spread of the Franciscans of the Order of Minors, a convent of these monks also arose in Pienza, and the monastery of San Francesco was certainly the most significant religious and cultural institution of ancient Corsignano, at least until to the radical transformation of the desired city, starting from 1459, by Pope Pius II (Enea Silvio Piccolomini), born here in 1405. In the first visit made to Corsignano by Pope, in fact, Piccolomini celebrated the solemn Mass precisely in St. Francis, the church evidently more important than the village. The only certain information we have about the life of the Monastery dates back to the sixteenth century and is given by the guardian father Domenico Gabrielli, who narrates the violence with which the soldier treated the convent and the church during the war of Siena. The poor friar tells us that in 1555 the soldiers broke the cellar and then turned wine, oil and burned stuff and other woods, and it is he himself who informed us as in the following he remained without tools and furniture and the good began little by little example and industry of the friars and mercy of benefactors to come back to life. In 1634, Saint Francis hosted the Provincial Congregation with solemnity and preaching, Latin orations, beautiful music were held for the occasion.
A few years later, with a papal bull suppressing the small convents, the Franciscans had to go. But the population did not like it and so much did that, by popular acclaim, the friars were returned to San Francesco in 1658. They celebrated in the whole city, with the sound of bells and fires on all sides. The monks remained until 1788, the year in which the Bishop Giuseppe Pannilini, suppressed the convent assigning the premises to a boarding school called Ecclesiastical Academy for clerics of the dioceses of Pienza and Chiusi. This institution had a short life and was replaced by an Episcopal Seminary in 1792 (which was housed there until 1956).
