Saint Francis of Assisi was a man who really valued a simple life. He gave up a life of nobility to live with the land and the animals. He travled much, appreciated everything, and gave nothing too small his full attention.  How does this man relate to Salavdor Dahlí? A giant statue of Dahlí's Surrealist Paino stands in fornt of a church dedicated to the patron saint of nature. This painting is a expression of the contadiction between the messages that both these historic figures represent.
