On this trip you will follow the paths Saint Francis covered during his frequent pilgrimages between the area of La Verna (where he received “the stigmata”), and that of Città di Castello. Discover the traces of his passage, such as Franciscan hermitages, chapels, crosses as you walk through the typical landscape of Tuscany and Umbria; shady forests, orchards, olive groves and fields of wheat and barley. 

A journey full of beauty and spirituality, from the first to the last step: from Città di Castello with stunning architecture to Assisi, the town from which the story of Francis began.

This historic path takes you on the footsteps of St. Francis, the man that 800 years ago decided to embrace poverty, living in close contact with the animals and leading an errant life, trying to bring joy in other people’s lives. You will be able to feel his presence as you wander through the magnificent countryside, walking through forests, fields, vineyards and olive groves.

Travelling in the footsteps of Saint Francis through Umbria, the green heart of Italy: you will perceive his humble spirituality in following his footsteps through forests, vineyards and olive groves, surrounded by green hills sprangled with medieval villages.

The path starts from the cradle of the Renaissance, Florence, and winds through a rural landscape that will offer unexpected and unforgettable views that seem to belong to a bygone era, such as the medieval center of Stia or the Monastery of Camaldoli.

This historic path takes you to a lesser known part of Italy, the Sabina, an area in Latium characterized by green hills and enchanting hamlets guarded by imposing castles. This area is also renowned for the endless variety of the local food, that will put your taste buds in heaven. The route is mostly on so called Strade Bianche, gravel roads that meander through the hills.
