Basilica of Saint Francis hosts InCammino on 24 October

Basilica of Saint Francis (Basilica di San Francesco) in Assisi hosts the InCammino concert on 24 October 2026, continuing an October programme of music and voices. The Upper Church is scheduled to receive the concert Infiorata Montefiore dell'Aso at 9pm, according to the Sacred Convent Custody's programme.

InCammino brings a 24 October concert to the Upper Church

The event appears within Ottobre 2026 in Basilica: musica, voci e pace, a programme published by the Custody of the Sacred Convent. Its listing places InCammino in the Upper Church on 24 October 2026 and identifies the concert as Infiorata Montefiore dell'Aso.

The same programme lists a special event in the Upper Church at 9pm on 25 October 2026. It does not give a title for that second date, while the 24 October listing provides the more specific programme detail. The two dates give visitors in Assisi a pair of scheduled evening events at the complex after the main Assisi Pax Mundi programme.

The monthly programme also records concerts and musical celebrations earlier in October, including the 13th edition of Assisi Pax Mundi from 15 to 18 October. Its later InCammino date extends the basilica's documented music programme beyond that four-day series. The October programme listing gives the dates, venue and scheduled times.

Two churches shape the concert setting

The Upper Church is one of two superimposed churches that form the monument. The lower building began in 1228 and was completed in 1230, while the Upper Church was completed in 1253 and consecrated by Pope Innocent IV.

This arrangement gives the October programme a precise architectural setting rather than a generic city venue. The 24 October concert is assigned to the Upper Church, whose Gothic-influenced interior contains a single nave, a transept, a polygonal apse and major fresco cycles.

The basilica was commissioned by Pope Gregory IX in 1228 to guard the mortal remains of Saint Francis, which have been housed there since 1230. In 2000, the basilica and other important Franciscan sites were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. These dates connect the scheduled concert with a building whose present form developed through the thirteenth century. The Custody's heritage description of the complex confirms the two-church layout and construction history.

Visiting Basilica of Saint Francis: what travellers from Western Europe should know

• InCammino takes place on 24 October 2026 at 9pm in the Upper Church, with the concert title Infiorata Montefiore dell'Aso.
• A second special event is listed for 25 October 2026 at 9pm in the Upper Church; the programme does not specify its title.
• The venue is part of the Basilica of Saint Francis complex at Piazza San Francesco 2 in Assisi, where the Upper Church stands above the Lower Church and the crypt.
• The site combines a Romanesque-influenced Lower Church with a French Gothic-influenced Upper Church, so the two scheduled concerts are assigned to a specific part of the monument rather than to the whole complex.
