The Walk passes through some of the most significant historical places including Castel Camponeschi, the Castle of San Pio delle Camere, the Castle of Bominaco, the Archaeological Area of Peltuinum, the Necropolis of Fossa and the ruins of Santa Maria di Forfona.
The path crosses 11 municipalities of the Navelli plain and the Subequana valley; the works underway will extend for approximately 85 km and will be completed by the end of 2024.
The mayors of the municipalities involved attended the presentation of the project: Fabrizio Boccabella for Fossa, Debora Visconti for Sant’Eusanio Forconese, Domenico Nardis for Villa Sant’Angelo, Antonio Di Bartolomeo for San Demetrio ne’ Vestini, Antonello Gialloreto for Poggio Picenze, Fabrizio D’Alessandro for Barisciano, Pio Feneziani for San Pio delle Camere, Fabio Camilli for Acciano, Alessandro Pernetta for Caporciano and Paolo Eusani for Prata D’Ansidonia.
