"Michele Soavi directs this biopic on the beloved St. Francis of Assissi. Sultry Italian leading man Raoul Bova (Under the Tuscan Sun) stars as Francis, the son of a wealthy fabric merchant. Francis's uncanny business acumen was trumped by his boundless virtue. While serving as a soldier, he hears the voice of God, who entreats him to return home, where he eventually renounces his material wealth and takes up a humble life in service to the poor."
