The candlestick, made of hardwood with bark, evokes the figure of Saint Francis of Assisi, the "Poor Man" who renounced riches to dedicate himself to God and nature. Born in 1181/82, he founded the Order of Friars Minor, promoting peace, humility and love for every creature. His life, marked by voluntary poverty and profound spirituality, culminated with the stigmata, a sign of his mystical union with Christ. Venerated as the patron saint of Italy, animals and ecology, Saint Francis still inspires millions of people to live in harmony with creation and with their fellow human beings. The candlestick, with its essentiality and the reference to natural wood, perfectly reflects the Franciscan spirit of simplicity and respect for creation.
