THE WALKS MEET AT LA VERNA
24 September 2016 h: 8:30 - 25 September 2016 h: 15:00
FreeLa Verna is the religious and spiritual center of several Walks from the North, South, East and West arrive or pass through one of the dearest places in San Francesco, a Saint who was able to speak to all the men, to all the peoples along eight centuries; and surely he’ll speak to them for other many centuries.
Two days of Walks and Meetings, in the sign of brotherhood; they are organized by the municipality of Chiusi della Verna, with the support and collaboration of many Associations and goodwill men and certainly under the High Patronage of the same St. Francis.
On the next 24 and 25 September these events are going to be held. The Via Romea Germanica participates with conviction and with great passion. We thank Prof. Gianluca Bambi of the University of Florence who was the driving force behind this initiative.
We invite all the Associations and the interested people to partecipate. For those who want and are able, we propose the walk from Bagno di Romagna (Gualchiere) to La Verna, going through Passo Serra.
Even physically it is the most important and tiring stage of the whole Via Romea Germanica, for the Italian stretch and all the way from Stade to Rome.
