Si sono affidati alla rete i Francescani della chiesa romana di San Francesco a Ripa, a Trastevere, per raccogliere i fondi necessari per il restauro della cella dove San Francesco soggiornava quando veniva nella CittĂ Eterna per incontrare il Papa tra il 1209 e il 1223.
Attraverso la piattaforma Kickstarter, i Frati Minori hanno sollecitato ai fedeli in rete donazioni per raccogliere i 125 mila dollari necessari al restauro. Ne sono arrivati ben 130.001 attraverso 1.117 donazioni. Tra queste, prevalentemente americane, quella di 20 mila dollari del filantropo newyorkese William Doty.
