A new trail in Southern Italy: 320 kilometers through history and nature
The 'Cammino di Guglielmo' has been launched, a new walking itinerary that crosses the heart of Southern Italy. This route, approximately 320 kilometers long, offers travelers a unique experience amidst spectacular landscapes and ancient traditions. The trail is designed for both pilgrims and lovers of trekking and nature.
The itinerary is structured into 15 stages and crosses three regions: Campania, Basilicata, and Puglia. The starting point is the evocative Sanctuary of Montevergine, in the province of Avellino, while the final destination is the city of Barletta, on the Adriatic coast. The route follows in the footsteps of Saint William of Vercelli, a monk who founded numerous monasteries in these areas during the Middle Ages.
During the journey, walkers can admire a great variety of panoramas. The path transitions from the green peaks of the Campanian Apennines to the hills of Basilicata, finally reaching the plains and the sea of Puglia. Along the way, it is possible to visit small historic villages, ancient churches, and protected natural areas, discovering an authentic and lesser-known Italy.
The project's goal is to promote slow and sustainable tourism, respectful of the environment and local communities. Initiatives like this help to enhance the territory and support the economy of small towns. The Cammino di Guglielmo represents a new opportunity for those wishing to disconnect from daily routine and experience an unforgettable adventure in the Mezzogiorno.
