The Fioretti
The Fioretti archives
The Fioretti is Marian University’s undergraduate literary journal, established in 1943. The word “Fioretti” comes from a collection of short stories and popular legends about the life of St. Francis of Assisi (patron of Marian University and the Sisters of St. Francis of Oldenburg) titled Fioretti di San Francesco d’Assisi. The word itself means “Little Flowers.”
