Frate Francesco e i Suoi Fioretti

A single-issue comic from Edizioni Messaggero Padova, Frate Francesco e i Suoi Fioretti adapts the classic medieval tales of Saint Francis of Assisi into sequential art. Published in 1974, this standalone work features the narrative collaboration of Giovanni M. Colasanti and Laura Battaglia, brought to life through the distinctive, atmospheric illustrations of Dino Battaglia. A reverent and visually striking entry in Italian religious comics, it stands as a focused tribute to the saint's life and legends.
