De Italiaanse Franciscus van Assisi leefde van 1181 of 1182 tot en met 3 oktober 1226. Zijn eigenlijke naam was Giovanni di Pietro Bernardone en hij leefde als religieus, stichtte de kloosterorde van de Franciscanen en werd op 16 juli 1228 heilig verklaard door paus Gregorius IX. Dit is zijn biografie.
Nee, helaas is Francesco nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
