The Way of St. Benedict: the central Italy Pilgrimage you never heard off

By: Ilaria Capatti

The Way of St. Benedict is a historical and spiritual journey through the heart of central Italy. This 300 km itinerary stretches across Umbria and Lazio and is not just a route for hikers. It is a spiritual journey through beautiful natural surroundings, following in the footsteps of St. Benedict of Norcia, the patron saint of Europe.

Along the 16 stages of the route, pilgrims or walkers will discover the three most important Benedictine sites (Norcia, Subiaco and Montecassino), places such as Cascia and Roccasecca, linked to important historical and spiritual figures (St Rita and St Thomas), ancient villages, hidden hermitages, and the nature of two beautiful regions of central Italy.
