The Cammino di Benedetto is a hiking trail that crosses Lazio and its traditions, exploring ancient villages and towns in evocative landscapes.
For the pilgrim headed towards Rome, this is an experience that also includes all the foods tasted along the way, perhaps donated, foods with intense flavours, to savour with a good glass of local wine.
