During the obscure times of the middle ages an enlightened man walked along the ridges and valleys of the Apennines, looking for Gods signs in nature and talking to people about peace, humility and brotherhood. He was Francis of Assisi a mystical personage who fascinates, even now, people from all countries; his charisma and philosophy are recognized, also, by all religions of the World.
Thanks to this trip you can follow the routes which Saint Francis covered during his frequent pilgrimages between the area of La Verna (where he received the stigmata ), and the area of Assisi (where he was born and died); you can discover hidden evidences of his passage, such as Franciscan hermitages, chapels, crosses, walking inside forests and the typical countryside landscape of Tuscany and Umbria.
