キティニャーノのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Legend has it that St. Francis, after receiving the Stigmata, left La Verna on September 30, 1224. The itinerary he was to follow wound toward Monte Arcoppe, the Foresto and reached the place called La Casella, from where, via Castello di Montauto, Sansepolcro, Citta’ di Castello, he would have reached Assisi. At La Casella, where a hermitage would later be built, he wanted to stop to perform a rite. From that height, where the eye sweeps across the vastness of superb landscapes, St. Francis, aware that that journey would be one with no return, looked at La Verna for a long time and with deep emotion said: Farewell, mountain of God, holy mountain, mons coagulatus, mons pinguis, mons in quo beneplacitum est Deo habitare! Farewell Mount Alvernia; God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit bless you! Stay in peace, for we will never see each other again. The Hermitage, built with light gray stone, consists of a chapel dedicated to St. Francis and a shelter that is always open. (Source: https://www.ursea.it/wp/archives/1118 )

Fantastic views over the valley of the Singerna. In addition, a nice place where you can BBQ, picnic tables are available. Good place to cool down during hot summer days.

Entering the Valenzano fortress is like taking a step back in time. This Lombard-era castle is now a period residence, in which it is possible to stay. All around the central complex there is a park with centuries-old trees. A beautiful and relaxing place.

closed, moreover it is not clear whether it is allowed to make the path or not

cold, clear water even in summer (07/22)

Isolated hermitage on the top of the ridge. It is said that St. Francis stopped here during his travels between La Verna and Assisi

Suggestive Hermitage .. first outpost of Francis in the abandonment of the Sanctuary de la verna versus Assisi

a beautiful section on the Francis pilgrimage route and like the whole way, full of historical buildings, especially churches and chapels.
