Ignazio Silone, one of the last “maestri” of the Italian literature, the intellectual who never betrayed his conscience, will be analysed in our scientific research concerning his francescanism and how the “Poverello di Assisi” along with Francis’s evangelic faith have influenced the tormented Italian writer. An old friend of the protagonist named Pierto Spina writes at Silone’s novel Vino e pane: “creare un regime all’ immagine dell’ uomo”, isn’t this, what Francis had proclaimed in his entire life, combating the human limits in order to reach his “Precious Goal”? Everyone has a goal in life and Silone achieved his through pure religious and political faith maintaining a high level of dignity throughout.
