For the 800th Anniversary of St. Francis, Ghirelli® introduces
AN EXCLUSIVE MASTERPIECE CREATED TO CELEBRATE THE 800TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE PASSING OF SAINT FRANCIS.
In the 1990s, Ghirelli® had begun exploring new artistic expressions within the Rosary by creating a small three-dimensional Nativity scene for its celebrated Christmas Rosary.
A pioneering intuition that marked the first step in a creative and spiritual journey now reaching its fullest expression with the extraordinary Saint Francis Rosary.
Today, remaining faithful to its creative identity and its constant pursuit of beauty, Ghirelli® takes another step destined to leave its mark on the history of the Rosary.
For the first time in the world, a Rosary with three-dimensional images comes to life.
AN INNOVATION THAT DOES NOT FOLLOW ITS TIME — IT ANTICIPATES IT. ONCE AGAIN.
For Ghirelli®, the mission has always been clear: to work tirelessly so that every Rosary becomes a genuine aid to prayer.
Through creative and innovative ideas, the company continues to develop new expressions that transform the Rosary into a living presence in the daily life of the faithful — not merely a prayer tool, but a true companion in prayer, capable of guiding the heart toward a deeper relationship with God.
EVERY DETAIL IS DESIGNED TO TRANSFORM DEVOTION INTO EXPERIENCE.
The Centerpiece of the Rosary features a QR code leading to a special reflection on Saint Francis through his beloved “Simple Prayer,” presented in multiple languages to accompany personal meditation and prayer.
This content was created to make the Rosary not simply an object to admire, but a true spiritual companion. Through its universal message of peace, fraternity, and love, the “Simple Prayer” becomes the most authentic expression of Franciscan spirituality.
EVERY ELEMENT TELLS A STORY OF FAITH, ART, AND VISION.
This Rosary is not simply a tribute to the 800th anniversary of Saint Francis.
It is the concrete expression of a mission that has always guided Ghirelli®: elevating the Rosary into a work of art capable of speaking to the contemporary heart without ever losing the depth of tradition.
Because for Ghirelli®, innovation does not mean changing the Rosary.
It means revealing, time and time again, a new dimension of its beauty.
