The stage from Configni to Greccio passes through one of the most evocative stretches of the Via di San Francesco, in the heart of the Valle Santa Reatina. The route winds through the hills of the Lazio Apennines, forests, olive groves and rural paths immersed in a quiet and deeply natural landscape.
The arrival in Greccio leads to the famous Sanctuary of Greccio, a symbolic place of Franciscanism where St Francis of Assisi created the first nativity scene in 1223. Along the way, you'll encounter small religious buildings, stone villages and ancient paths that preserve the historical memory of the area.
From an ethno-anthropological point of view, the stage tells the story of the rural culture of Sabina and the Holy Valley, linked to the production of oil, traditional cuisine and forms of popular religiosity that are still alive in the local communities.
This stretch of the Way of St Francis is ideal for those seeking a slow and immersive journey through spirituality, nature and cultural heritage.
