Qui si dice come si die lassare il male e fare il bene, assegnando bellissime ragioni. (Sermon made on Monday, 18 August 1427)


Bernardino form Siena (1380-1444), one of the Albizzesis, was franciscan, supporter of the rule of poverty, obedience and devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus.

He was absolved from the charge of heresy for three times. 

He was able to give peace and to make every sinner repent. 

We have the 1427 sermones , made on Campo di Siena, because they were written by one of his pupil. 

THE SHOW
Sermo is a liturgical action in which the actor plays the character of Saint Bernardino preaching.

The show can be performed everywhere, because Bernardino too used to preach everywhere.

The music is a vocal quartet original version of seven melodies from Laudario di Cortona, famous in 1427.
