Il Cammino degli Angeli

Year: 2010 Format: 10x21 Pages: 128 Photos: col Walking from Rome to Assisi. Putting on your boots one day in St. Peter's Square and setting off along country lanes and paths to discover 500 kilometers of 'minor' Italy, where seeing pilgrims with backpacks on their shoulders has not yet become a habit. From Rome to Assisi without following the ancient streets, now mostly transformed into thundering four-lane roads, for an unprecedented itinerary, revealed step by step in four long years, thanks to the patient work in the area carried out by the volunteers. And along the Path we meet people, experiences, lives, very far from the values and ways of this modernity, which we now know is devastating; and extraordinary testimonies of art, nature, devotion and places of the Spirit linked to early Christianity, to the Michaelmas cult and, having arrived in Umbria, to Franciscan memories; places still alive and pulsating, isolated from everything and yet within reach, in their being in the world but not of the world, for a Francisci ad limina journey, both liberating and binding, on the Path of the Angels, a pilgrimage for the Third Millennium.
