The stage from Fara in Sabina to Poggio Mirteto crosses one of the most authentic territories of the Lazio Sabina, among centuries-old olive groves, dirt roads and historic villages immersed in the countryside. The walk offers an intimate and quiet atmosphere, ideal for experiencing the slow spirit of the Way of St Francis.
Departing from Fara in Sabina allows you to visit the famous Farfa Abbey, a historic Benedictine monastic complex that for centuries was an important spiritual, cultural and economic centre in central Italy.
From an ethno-anthropological point of view, the stage tells the story of the agricultural and rural tradition of Sabina, linked to the production of extra virgin olive oil, local crafts and the popular festivals that still characterise the region.
The arrival in Poggio Mirteto leads the pilgrim to one of the most important historical centres of Sabina, rich in artistic, religious and cultural testimonies.
