The stage from Fara in Sabina to Poggio Mirteto crosses one of the most authentic parts of Lazio's Sabine area, characterised by centuries-old olive groves, dirt roads and historic villages immersed in the countryside. The Way offers an intimate and peaceful atmosphere, ideal for experiencing the slow spirit of the Way of St Francis.
Departing from Fara in Sabina, you can visit the famous Farfa Abbey, a historic Benedictine monastic complex that for centuries was an important focal point for spiritual, cultural and economic affairs in central Italy.
From an ethno-anthropological point of view, the stage tells the story of the Sabine agricultural and rural tradition, linked to the production of extra-virgin olive oil, local crafts and the popular festivals that still characterise the region.
Arriving in Poggio Mirteto, the pilgrim enters one of the Sabine's most important old towns, filled with artistic, religious and cultural treasures.
