Italy bets on the Way of Saint Francis and looks to the success of Santiago

Italy will invest around 40 million euros in the project "Cammino di Francesco – Il Cammino della Luce", a pilgrimage route of 1546 kilometres that crosses six Italian regions — Abruzzo, Emilia-Romagna, Lazio, Marche, Tuscany and Umbria — with Assisi as the main destination. The project aims to articulate and enhance existing Franciscan routes and gains particular significance in 2026, when the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis is celebrated. Italy looks to the success of Santiago de Compostela as a model to combine spiritual experience, heritage, tourism and economic development of the localities along the way.
