Since there is no historic text that proposes a specific itinerary, as with other pilgrimages such as the Camino de Santiago and Via Francigena, there are now several itineraries that link together beloved St Francis sites. Among the main routes are:

 Via Francigena di San Francesco (Via di Francesco) – a joint project of the Region of Umbria, Franciscan family of orders in Assisi and the Umbrian Conference of Catholic Bishops. The routes converge on Assisi, beginning either at Santuario della Verna from the north or Rieti from the south. Large blue-and-yellow metal signs and blue-and-yellow painted stripes mark the way.

 Cammino di Assisi begins at the tiny town of Dovadola in Emilia-Romagna and visits sites of St Anthony before connecting at Santuario della Verna for a Franciscan itinerary that ends in Assisi. Green arrows and a dancing ‘Tau’ figure mark the route.

 Di qui Passò San Francesco is the brainchild of pilgrim pioneer Angela Serracchioli and leads from Santuario della Verna through Greccio to Poggio Bustone. Look for yellow ‘Tau’ markers and yellow arrows that mark this route.
