New in this second edition!
Information on two revived ancient pilgrimage routes! The Via Francigena transverses Italy from the northwest Alps to Rome, and the Rieti Valley has it's own sacred path linking the sanctuaries visited by St. Francis.
Three shrines related to St. Anthony of Padua have been added; two in Camposampiero and one in Arcella, where the saint spent his final days.
