Franciscan itineraries in Valmarecchia

These are itineraries that connect important places for the history of Franciscanism to the Way of Saint Francis. Among them the road connection from San Marino to San Leo.

In Valmarecchia and Montefeltro the Franciscan presence is very ancient and many villages are linked to great characters in history born from the charisma of Francis, who were born here. In particular we remember Fra' Matteo da Bascio, inspirer of the Capuchin Order and Fra' Orazio Olivieri da Pennabilli, a missionary in Tibet in the 18th century, still remembered and esteemed by the Tibetan Buddhist world today.

Together with the inhabitants you will also discover beautiful and authentic places; ancient villages with a significant history, such as Pennabilli, seat of the Diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro and Badia Tedalda, an important medieval center connected to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.

From Passo di Viamaggio you can continue on the Franciscan Way towards La Verna or Assisi. ...
