Each region features two selected routes of cultural, historical, or natural significance, including one designed for individuals with reduced mobility. Notable routes span Valle d’Aosta, Alto Adige, Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany, Marche, Umbria, Veneto, Molise, Calabria, and Sardinia, highlighting topics like the Knights Templar and hermit popes.
