Con le ali ai piedi

Year: 2011 Format: 13x21 Pages: 196 Photos: from Lazio to the rocks of Monte Sant'Angelo suspended over the Gargano sea: 500 kilometers in 25 stages towards one of the most fascinating and oldest pilgrimage destinations in Europe, whose fame even precedes that of the Camino de Santiago de Compostela. On foot or by bicycle on the trail of Saint Francis and the devotion to Saint Michael the Archangel, from sacred mountain to sacred mountain (from Verna - described in the previous guide - to Monte Sant'Angelo). An exciting route that crosses Abruzzo, Molise and Northern Puglia, among unknown valleys, cities of art and breathtaking landscapes. Destination: the suggestive cave of the apparitions and cult of Saint Michael, a few kilometers from San Giovanni Rotondo. For each stage: detailed descriptions of the route, maps (1:50,000), places to sleep and eat. Also all the places to visit, the traditions and historical documents on Saint Francis and the archangel Michael.
