‘The stones tell about Chiara and Francesco’, this is the title of Elio Ciol’s photographic exhibit. 75 black and white photos introduce us to Saint Claire’s and Saint Francis’ Assisi, captured in its everyday reality. But it is in fact in ordinary existence that something extraordinary can come into being. Elio Ciol has caught the essence of poverty and the silence of contemplation in the umbrian town linked to the memory of two great saints.’
