The church dedicated to saint Francis of Assisi, known for centuries as San Francesco Grande (to avoid confusion with the church of San Francesco Piccolo which was gone by the sixteenth century) is a religious building on the Via San Francesco, previously overlooks the Contra porteghi high in Padua, Italy. Through the efforts of Baldo de Bonafarii and Sibilla de Cetto, the convent of the Friars Minor and the Hospital of Saint Francis, Major (or Greater), operated until 1798. The Dec. 29, 1414, before the Bishop of Padua, the Bishop Pietro Marcello and other witnesses, Bonafari Baldo and his wife Sybil from Cetto declared they want to allocate part of their property to the construction of a church and monastery with a hospital in Santa Contrà Margaret, to be allocated to the Friars Minor. Bonafari reserved the right to elect the rector of the hospital, which on his death would go to the College of Lawyers of the University of Padua. The foundation stone was laid on 25 October 1416 by the Archpriest of the Cathedral, Bartholomew of Astorelli. The church in the parish of San Lorenzo at first caused some uncertainty; until the Bishop agreed to allow the work to continue. Master builder Nicholas Gobbo led the project. After the death of Bonafari the work was completed by his wife Sybil. In his will of November 1421, Bonafari asked to be buried in the new church. More information...
