The film was shot between Tunis, Rome, Gubbio and Bevagna.[1]
Corriere della Sera television critic Aldo Grasso criticised the film for its lack of spiritual elements.[2] When asked for their opinion, the conventual friars of the Sacro Convento in Assisi had mixed views, praising its historical rigour, lack of rhetorics and acting performances, but finding some inadequacy in representing the theological and human depth of Francis.[3]
