Chiesa Nuova stands on the site traditionally linked to Francis’s parents’ house. Its seventeenth-century architecture gives that domestic story a later ceremonial frame. Look for how the church marks the family setting within the narrow centre, then compare it with the tiny nearby San Francesco Piccolino oratory, which preserves another local birth tradition.
