Meanwhile, the county will have to draw up the program of the four-year period and present new organization of tasks and roles in the community of friars. In addition the amount of work given by the extension of the new religious Province, will have to deal with contemporary culture increasingly proactive new, stimulating and provocative, but not always in perfect harmony with the choices of religious life that stands as its goal evangelical life lived in a wonderful way by St. Francis and St. Anthony.

The new "Italian Province of St. Anthony", born with the merger of the communities of Padua and Bologna, recalls the period in which it was St. Anthony provincial minister from 1227 to 1230 in the same territory. Very different are the boundaries.
