Le Vie di Francesco<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The Valmarecchia has always been a land of passage, and Saint Francis himself travelled through it on several occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 1213, on one of his journeys, Francis \u2014 accompanied by Brother Leo \u2014 arrived at the castle of Montefeltro (the ancient name of San Leo) and preached in the square before the people and the nobility. <\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Among those present was Orlando Catani, Count of Chiusi in the Casentino, who, moved by Francis’s words, asked to meet him privately, and at the end of their conversation donated Monte della Verna to him. <\/p>\n\n \r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\n\n\r\n\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\n\n

Tracing the paths walked by Saint Francis and the places of significance in his story, a number of itineraries have been developed to introduce them to pilgrims and hikers: the Cammino di San Francesco (Way of Saint Francis) from Rimini<\/a> to La Verna passes through Badia Tedalda along the route from San Leo to the Passo di Viamaggio; and Le Vie di Francesco in Toscana<\/a> (The Ways of Francis in Tuscany), following the route from the Eremo di Cerbaiolo (Hermitage of Cerbaiolo) to the Sasso di Simone, passes through both Badia Tedalda and Sestino. In August 2023, the Tibetan Bridge on the Ways of Francis in Tuscany was inaugurated, in the locality of Fresciano di Sotto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Badia Tedalda, only a segment of these routes can be walked, as it represents one of the many stages into which they are divided. Nevertheless, to commemorate the passage of Saint Francis through our territory, a local circular route has been created, retracing an ancient road travelled by \u2014 among others \u2014 the Saint himself, and later by all the pilgrims making their way from the Adriatic coast to the Sanctuary of La Verna or to Assisi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
