Without a doubt, the most popular stretch of the Via di Francesco is the one between the Franciscan sanctuary of La Verna, in Tuscany, and Assisi, in Umbria. The entire route has eight official stages, but it can take several days to complete, depending on the pilgrim's stamina. The stretch passes through important places where Saint Francis lived and preached. The most famous points, of course, are the La Verna Sanctuary itself and the city of Assisi, where he was born and raised.
