Francesco tra ori e porpora
Chapel 20 is one of the first created on the Sacro Monte di Orta, yet it is also the successful completion of the entire tour. The ideals of poverty, simplicity and self-denial advocated by St. Francis at the beginning of the 13th century seem forgotten. On the contrary, set among the gold and purple of the religious men in the chapel, Francis has now become part of an institution. The spectacular celebration of his holiness ends his story at the Sacro Monte di Orta.
