La Verna became an important pilgrimage site for Franciscans and followers of Saint Francis and a large monastery developed. On her return to Italy, she wanted to thank her “friend and fellow traveler.” Hence was born the proposal of a route, starting from Sanctuary of La Verna, in the foothills of Tuscany, along the Apennine Mountains that would touch the places of memory of Saint Francis crossing through the Franciscan Umbria and finishing at the Sanctuary of Poggio Bustone (Convent of St. Italian author Angela Seracchioli walked the Camino de Santiago and felt the presence of Saint Francis of Assisi (who made a similar journey in 1214).

The path departs from Citerna in Tuscany, and then heads south into Umbria (with a detour to Perugia) to Assisi and Spoleto to arrive in Piediluco at the border of Umbria and Lazio. Officially, the region of Umbria describes this as a journey of more than 270 km through the green heart of Italy a path through the timeless monasteries, shrines, ancient forests and medieval towns in Umbria following the footsteps of Saint Francis of Assisi. The route in Lazio will follow in a second entry. This entry will describe the first section. The route consists of two sections the path of Saint Francis of Assisi, who traveled through the region of Umbria in the 13th century and the last 100 km section through Lazio to Rome. Today the Via di San Francesco is a joint development of regions of Umbria and Lazio connecting the towns of Assisi and Rieti with Rome. This same route is described as the Via Francigena of Saint Francis but the term Via Francigena is not appropriate since very few pilgrims from Francia would have traveled this way. The long-term vision is to develop a set of paths that connect with Via Claudia Augusta originating from Austria and Germany to Italy, via Venice towards the south to Rome. The Via or Cammino di San Francesco is part of the eastern network of ancient medieval paths in Italy that led to Rome.
