Il Cammino della Pace
The Cammino della Pace It traverses three Italian regions (Abruzzo, Molise and Puglia), five provinces (L’Aquila, Pescara, Chieti, Campobasso and Foggia), three national parks (Gran Sasso, Maiella and Gargano) and various reserves and protected areas, tracing ancient Roman roads, transhumance sheep-tracks and pilgrimage routes, witnesses to the millennial History of this land.
Along the more than 500 kilometers of the route, which takes its first steps from the basilica of Collemaggio in L'Aquila and, after 29 STAGES, reaches the underground sanctuary of St. Michael the Archangel in Monte Sant'Angelo, there is an inestimable wealth made up of abbeys, sanctuaries, hermitages, castles, extraordinary naturalistic and scenic suggestions and lively historic centers of great artistic and cultural tradition, which are also symbols of hospitality and welcome: a true “heritage of humanity,” which deserves to be preserved and handed down. A path open to people of all faiths and cultures.

HISTORY
The Cammino della Pace was born as a result of the positive outcome of a Guardiagrele student’s story during the sad night of the April 6, 2009 earthquake in L’Aquila. Saved because she was sleeping in an old house in the historic center, and not in her usual concrete home in the suburbs (which crumbled), the girl asked her father if she could go for a prayer of thanksgiving at the tomb of Padre Pio. This gave rise to the idea of a walking path that could unite L’Aquila with San Giovanni Rotondo, later extended to Monte Sant’Angelo, with the realization that that path, in fact, already existed: it was the millenary way of the transhumant shepherds along the sheep-tracks, the way of the abbots who went from one monastery to another, the way of the pilgrims who went to visit the many sanctuaries existing along the way, the way of the merchants, the way of the noble and the humble. The meeting with the Arbor Foundation, which works on projects related to intercultural and interfaith around the world, made this idea a reality.
WATER SOURCES.
Fountains are present in large numbers along the first 15 STAGES of the Cammino di Dante, while they are scarce or completely absent in the second half of the route; therefore, it is necessary to always leave with an abundant supply of water. The fountains present along the Way are indicated on the website at each STAGE.

SERVICES PRESENT STAGE BY STAGE
Bars, supermarkets and pharmacies can be found in all towns and cities that are the site of a STAGE or crossed by the Cammino della PACE. Even in smaller towns it is always possible to find at least one grocery store.
Services are absent along the mountain variant STAGES on the Maiella, so those who are intent on traveling them uninterrupted will need to equip themselves with everything they need upon departure from Caramanico Terme.
SIGNAGE
The Il Cammino della Pace is entirely marked with specific red-white painted signage, which is the official signage used by CAI and in the parks. The adhesive signage, applied to metal posts and guard rails, bears the logo of the Walk; the direction of travel of the two pilgrims in the logo indicates the direction of travel of the STAGE. There are also plaques affixed to existing wooden supports with red directional arrows. However, it is recommended to set off having GPX tracks with you, which are free to download from www.ilcaminodellapace.it. On sections within the Gran Sasso, Maiella and Gargano National Park, in reserves and where the Path overlaps with other existing paths (Path of the Spirit, Via Francigena), the signage will be the official one of the entities or associations that manage them, with the integration of plaques.
DANGERS
IIL CAMMINO DELLA PACE presents no particular risks and is suitable for everyone. It is entirely signposted, but one should not expect to find signage at every intersection or after every bend. The maintenance and upkeep of the signage is the responsibility of the Association’s volunteers, who often have to restore previously marked sections because stickers or plaques have been removed or damaged. GPX tracks, maps on the website and in the guidebook, however, make it easy to follow the route. The Walk tried, as far as possible, to follow the sheep-tracks and ancient routes on paths, dirt tracks and cart-tracks, but where this was not possible, we had to resort to paved roads, which, however, only in very rare cases have considerable traffic. Caution is always recommended, however. All along the route, and not only in the areas within the parks, encounters with wildlife are possible, which thanks to natural reforestation, especially in Abruzzo, has made it all the way to the coasts. Keeping calm, staying put and avoiding aggressive attitudes, is the best way to enjoy the encounter safely. Variant STAGES 9, 10 and 11 traverse one of the wildest and most spectacular areas of the Maiella Park; you will travel along trails that are strenuous but extraordinarily scenic, along which there is the possibility of running into the vagaries of the weather, encountering wildlife and grazing flocks. Along STAGE 11v there are a couple of short “aerial” passages without protection to be approached with caution, as well as the access to the hermitage of San Giovanni all’Orfento.
TENT WALK
In principle, IL CAMMINO DELLA PACE can also be traveled in tents, but it is necessary to contact the STAGE contact persons (contact information is on the website) for information on where to camp.
ACCESSIBILITY
The route is extremely varied, alternating between rough sections and sections that are more easily traversed. STAGES that are fully or partially passable for people with disabilities will be indicated on the Trail website.
ROAD BOTTOM.
38% paved roads (state, county, municipal)
62% breached roads, dirt roads, trails
CREDENTIAL
The Credential is issued by the association “Il Cammino della Pace” to all those who intend to walk the Path and who undertake to maintain a behavior that respects the cultural, natural and anthropological assets present, as well as the human communities that live along it. The pilgrim is the primary custodian of the riches he encounters and is personally called upon to protect and defend them. The credential is prepared exclusively to be used for the Il Cammino della Pace, although some of the STAGES are also common to other paths, routes and trails and can be requested directly on the website of the Walk.
The Credential provides access to accommodations and refreshment facilities located along the Camino at subsidized rates and according to criteria and modalities that must be accepted and respected; it can be requested via email or through the appropriate function on the website and is issued against a donation or offering for reimbursement (as specified on the website), to meet the costs of sending the Credential itself and the Testimonium.
