The Basilica of San Francesco is located in Assisi, it is the place that has preserved and preserved the mortal remains of the seraphic saint since 1230. Commissioned by Pope Gregory IX as specialis ecclesia, he was conferred by the Pope the title of Caput et Mater of the minority order and at the same time perpetually entrusted to the friars themselves. In the complex history that marked the evolution of the Order, the basilica (and the adjacent Sacred Convent) has always been guarded by the so-called "community friars", the group that subsequently established the Order of Conventual Friars Minor.
