Convent of St. Francis
The Convent of St. Francis, founded according to tradition by St. Francis in 1213, became an important centre of theological, historical and scholarly study in the 17th century.
Among the learned who worked there, we still remember the theologian Friar Costanzo Malvetani, Friar Arcangelo Contessa and Friar Agostino Mattielli, the latter of whom can be considered one of the main Umbrian scholars and reporters of the 1600, thanks to his Umbria Serafica and the Discorso sopra la terra di Stroncone.
