The stage from Poggio Mirteto to Collevecchio passes through one of the most representative landscapes of the Sabine area, characterised by gently-rolling hills, ancient olive groves and footpaths winding through the Lazio countryside. The route alternates between stretches of open countryside and small hamlets, offering a slow, quiet and authentic walking experience. 

The land along this stretch is still deeply connected to local agricultural traditions, in particular olive growing and the production of extra-virgin olive oil, core elements of the Sabine identity. Local hospitality and village folk festivals help to keep the culture of the region alive.

Arriving in Collevecchio, you will discover a compact old town, immersed in a rural setting that preserves historical memory and continuity with the past.

This stretch of the Way of St Francis is ideal for those looking for a simple walking experience that combines spirituality and nature with the farming culture of the Sabine hills.
