Visits of friendship
We are grateful to Alessandro Spina, with whom we, together with various friends, spent an intensive Sunday of in-depth study of his work as writer and as personality-bridge with the Arab world; to Chiara Frugoni, medievalist and friend of the community for many years, who in one of our traditional Sunday Confronti gave us her extremely timely reflections on St Francis of Assisi
