Chapel of St Francis of Assisi
The bottom fresco to the right of the alter represents The Approval of the Rule. Following his vision, Pope Innocent III confirms the rule of the new Franciscan community. This occurred, according to tradition, on 16 April 1210, and constituted the official founding of the Franciscan Order.
