Walking the stage
The gentlest day. Down from Poggio Bustone through Cantalice, the stone village stacked on its spur, then along the wooded hillside to the Santuario La Foresta and the last kilometres into Rieti, the town that calls itself the centre of Italy. About 17 km.
On arrival in Rieti, consider a stop at Palazzo Vescovile, close to the finish.
Look for these places on the stage map: Villa Falilò, San Liberato, San Felice all'Acqua, and Santuario della Foresta.
