Italy: Cessana-Turinese via Assisi & Rome to Bari

[lovingkindness]

Buon Giorno.

Here are some of the resources used on my journey through Italy [July - Nov, 2013]. I walked without GPS or internet connection relying on signs and conversation. The maps and guides used were those found along the way. I set off from Castella, France in the cool of spring reaching Italy in high summer. Days and nights were a scorching fire and the mosquitos savage... and as I walked I made music. I dined on home-made pastas, pizzas and risottos and the scatterings of nature -grazie mille!

Route in Italy:

GR 653 D : Arles - Montgenèvre - Cessana Turinese
Via Francigena : Cessana Turinese - San Quiroco d'Orcia
local trails : San Quiroco d'Orcia - Perugia

il Cammino di San Francesco : Assisi - Rieti - Rome
il Cammino di San Francesco : Cantilice - Monte Sant'angelo

Thanks to all who guided me.

Ultreia e suseia,

I found this guide useful. However, the accommodation suggestions were out-of-date and sometimes the sketch maps were inadequate particularly in places where trail signing was poor.
