He was a wandering pilgrim who talked to birds, healed the sick and tamed wild beasts. He was also the closest thing to a medieval rock star - a man so revered in his lifetime that people tore at this clothes, desperate to touch a living saint.

In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge we’ll follow in the footsteps of St. Francis as we travel to Italy, visiting his old hermitages.
