Celebrating 800 Years of San Francesco: walking tour on the Via di Francesco

In this special year marking the 800th anniversary of the death of San Francesco, thousands of pilgrims and walkers are rediscovering the ancient paths that trace his life, his message, and his profound connection with nature.
