St Francis of Assisi Basilica Italy Audio System Upgrade

The Opportunity

As one of the most visited spiritual landmarks in the world, the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi welcomes millions of pilgrims each year. The site’s cultural and religious importance, coupled with its complex architecture, made providing clear, intelligible sound a longstanding challenge. With upper and lower church squares, centuries-old stone walls, and outdoor spaces extending up to 70 meters, the Basilica required an audio system capable of maintaining clarity across large areas without intruding on its historic character.

The Result

The new system has transformed the visitor and worship experience across the Basilica’s outdoor and indoor spaces. Pilgrims and guests now hear services, readings, and musical elements with clarity throughout both squares. The combination of JBL Intellivox precision, BSS reliability, and AMX control simplicity has allowed the Basilica to preserve its architectural integrity while modernising its communication infrastructure.

By integrating advanced audio and control technologies within a historic framework, the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi has created an environment where every message resonates clearly, honoring both the legacy of St. Francis and the needs of today’s global visitors.
