10th October 2011 - Sorrento, Cloisters of San Francesco.

Close to the Villa Comunale is the "Chiostro di San Francesco" or Cloisters of San Francesco.

The Cloisters are also a popular venue for Civil weddings.

The 14th Century Cloisters are used as an art school summer.

Works of art are displayed around the cloisters.

Stories abound of how St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226) could communicate with animals and felt at one with all creation. This sculpture depicts St Francis and the Rabbit.
