Overview
Journey from the heart of ancient Rome to one of Europe's most extraordinary pilgrimage destinations on this carefully curated exploration of the Via Francigena South. Over sixteen days, we'll walk twelve memorable stages of this historic route, with selected transfers allowing us to experience the best of southern Italy without walking every kilometer.
Our pilgrimage begins among the artistic treasures and volcanic landscapes of Lazio, passing through hilltop towns, medieval villages, and countryside shaped by centuries of history.

Along the way, we'll explore the spiritual legacy of Padre Pio, with opportunities to visit Pietrelcina and San Giovanni Rotondo. Our journey culminates on the spectacular Gargano Peninsula, where forested mountains rise above the Adriatic and the ancient Sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo has welcomed pilgrims for more than a millennium.
With thoughtfully chosen walking stages, comfortable accommodations, cultural discoveries, and time for reflection, this small-group adventure offers an unforgettable introduction to the landscapes, history, art, and spirituality of Italy's remarkable southern pilgrimage routes.
