Apparently there's a new walking pilgrimage route in the planning stages in Syracuse, Italy--the Way of Saint Paul, or Cammino di Sao Paulo. It will lead to Rome, but I don't think they even have a route yet.
Reading a couple of articles (like this one, and this one) using Google Translate, I gather that:
1. A bunch of important people have signed a memorandum of agreement saying they will develop the route.
2. It's inspired by the Camino and the Via Francigena, and those involved want it to become a European Cultural Route
3. It will pass through places that Saint Paul visited, according to tradition.
4. Some prefer the name Paths of Faith, since it's more "open."
Since Syracuse is an island, I wonder if they're planning to then develop a path from the tip of Italy to Rome, or if the getting to Rome part involves climbing on a boat somewhere in Syracuse. The articles don't mention any other areas of Italy.
It'll be interesting to see what happens....
