Francis of Assisi

Concern for the poor is a central theme in the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, who is called “the little poor man of Assisi.” He was born in about 1180 in Assisi, an Italian hill town in Umbria some 15 miles north of Perugia. His father was a wealthy cloth merchant who bought and sold in the fairs throughout the area. [Source: The SAGE Encyclopedia of World Poverty; Francis of Assisi]
