The earthquake caused severe damages to the ceiling vault of the Upper Basilica and in the tympanum of the left transept even though the remaining parts underwent only minor damages (book). Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi was one of the best examples of the medieval Italian art of the 13th century. One of the unique characteristics of this basilica is the mixed artistic styles used in the construction of it. While the upper Basilica was constructed in Gothic style, the lower Basilica was constructed in Romanesque style. Decorations with the help of Frescoes. both in the upper and lower part of this basilica made it extremely beautiful (wiki). In short, it was impossible for the Italians and the Roman Catholic Church believers to witness the destruction of this basilica as a result of the earthquake. The reconstruction efforts of the basilica were started soon after the earthquake. The immediately after the earthquake, efforts were made to secure the remaining portions of the building from the continuing tremors. Damaged frescos that remained in the walls of the church were reconstructed from the fragments. A fresco by Cimabue, believed destroyed in the 1997 earthquake, has been partially reconstructed from thousands of fragments. It is to be reinstalled in the Basilica of St Francis next March. The restoration is the last in an extraordinary eight-year conservation project co-ordinated by the regional government of Umbria and the State-run Istituto Centrale del Restauro in Rome, and financed by the State (Osser and Beatty) Even though the church was reopened in 1999, majority of the fragments of the frescos are still remaining in the storage. Saint Francis of Assisi was born in Assisi in 1181 as the son of a wealthy cloth merchant. Even though he was born in a wealthy family, he gradually lost the appetite for worldly life during his youth period. He was immensely attracted towards spirituality and started to preach in the streets of Italy. His preaching and simple life styles attracted thousands of people and people started to consider him as a saint. He is believed to be the first person who received the stigmata (bodily marks in locations corresponding to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus). He died in 1226. Immediately after his death, the plan for establishing a church in his name started under the patronage of Pope Gregory IX. St. Francis basilica was constructed in 1228. It consists of two churches. Upper Church and the Lower Church, and a crypt where the remains of the saint are enclosed. The canonization of St Francis was happened on July 17th 1228 and in the next day. Pope Gregory IX laid the first stone of the Lower Basilica. The saint’s body brought here from San Giorgio and buried in the church even before the completion of the construction of the Lower church (Assisi). In the past, St. Francis basilica survived many earthquake disasters. Moderate and severe earthquakes happened in AD 1279, 1328, 1703, 1747, 1781, 1799, 1832, 1859, 1917, 1979 etc. However, the church survived all those earthquake attacks because of the peculiar construction or architecture methods adopted for the construction of this church. Both upper and lower churches were constructed in identical manner. In fact the upper basilica is a replica of the lower basilica. The visitors of St Francis Basilica first arrive at a transept which was built between 1280 and 1300.
