Route map

The Via Francigena di San Francesco is a joint development of Umbria and Lazio that connects Assisi and Rieti with Rome. Eventually it is planned to extend it further north to Ravenna and Venice. For details of the Umbria section, which originally started in Perugia but has now been extended from the Tuscan border at Citerna, see Umbria region's website (their previous site describes the previous route from Perugia). For Lazio, see VFSF site; free cartoguidas, La Via di Roma - la Via Francigena di San Francesco, for the sections Piediluco-Rieti and Rieti-Rome, have also now been published and should be available from APT Rieti. Most of the Piediluco-Rieti section is coincident with the Cammino di Francesco. For info on this and other routes related to St Francis, including the link fom La Verna, see other page.
