The stage from Collevecchio to Configni crosses the heart of Lazio's Sabine area with its characteristic crop-covered hills, centuries-old olive groves and ancient country lanes that preserve the traditional agricultural landscape intact.
The route offers panoramic views of the Tiber Valley and the small medieval villages of the area, characterised by stone houses, country churches and testimonies of the local farming tradition. Collevecchio and its surroundings retain an authentic atmosphere, linked to the slow pace of rural life in the Sabine area.
From an ethno-anthropological point of view, the stage tells the story of the region's agricultural and gastronomic traditions: the production of extra-virgin olive oil, folk festivals and the many forms of local hospitality can all be found on the route along the Way of St Francis.
This stretch is ideal for those looking for a slow tourism experience that combines spirituality and nature with the historical memory of the Sabine hills.
