Firenze

The Firenze route is the main northern prigrimage route toward Assisi. It begins in Firenze and climbs into the Casentino, threading the Foreste Casentinesi and the sanctuary at La Verna, then descending the upper Tiber Valley and crossing into Umbria for the long approach through Gubbio to the tomb of Saint Francis. Across fourteen stages the route covers roughly 287 kilometers, with the heaviest climbing concentrated in the Casentino and the longest day falling between Gubbio and Valfabbrica.
