At number 11 on Via Bernardo da Quintavalle, un the facade of a Medieval building, you will find inscribed: “Hic S. Franciscum ad coenam et cubiculum Bernardus Quintavallis excepit et in extasim vidit”.
Here Bernardo da Quintavalle invited Saint Francis to his table, where he welcomed him as guest and saw his ecstasy, after which he began to follow him and became the first Franciscan friar. (FF 360; 601; 1053; 1430; 1827).
