Description2021 Winter Solstice - The bronze of St Francis of Assisi by Arturo Tomagnini, entitled, "Canticle of the Sun".jpg
English: Dante is comparing St. Francis to the sun which rises so spectacularly over Assisi in the east by using a Tuscan pun; “Ascesi” (Italian for “I am rising up”) and “Assisi” (the town). Thus, St. Francis’ rightful name according to Dante is Orient (“east”).
