Gubbio, Spello, Spoleto and Rieti feature along the way. Alternatives and starts at La Verna or Assisi allow shorter pilgrimages instead of committing to an entire month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maps and practical planning<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1:100,000 maps, profiles, accommodation and facilities information accompany advice on pilgrim passes, preparation and local arrangements. Cicerone provides GPX files, with background on Francis and places connected to his life.
