Room Santa Chiara

Its name, from Latin, means “transparent, illustrious” and has the lily as its emblem. The main church dedicated to Chiara is the Basilica of Santa Chiara in Assisi, where her remains are preserved. Seven years after the gesture of St. Francis stripped of his clothes, Chiara, belonging to the noble family of the Offreducci, joined him at the Porziuncola where he wore the Franciscan habit and later founded the feminine order of the “poor recluses” (the Poor Clares) , obtaining the “privilege of poverty” from Gregory IX.
