Day 2: From VITERBO to VETRALLA

DETAILS: km 22, +307 m/- 212 m

Day 3: From VETRALLA to SUTRI

Continuing in the green landscape of Lazio you reach Sutri, a small city full of attractions. The Roman amphitheater, completely excavated in the tuff, is a must. Choose whether to sit in the stands or conquer the scene, but when leaving, remember to sign the visitors' register: the caretaker cares a lot, and if present he will invite you to do so. Then head to the church of Santa Maria del Parto, whose tuff walls are decorated with well-preserved frescoes. Search among the images for the group of pilgrims, portrayed in prayer with their sticks in their hands.

Day 6: From ISOLA FARNESE to ROME

Here you are at the last stage of your trekking to Rome, the Eternal City. Being a metropolis, the last part of the route is unfortunately very busy: the viewpoint of Monte Mario, from which you can finally spot the dome of San Pietro, however, is worth the whole trip. Do not forget a triumphant photo in front of the Basilica of Saint Peter, arrival point of the Francigena way Trekking!
