Walking the stage
Down from San Magno into Fondi, past the Chiesa di San Francesco, then out along rural lanes and the Fosso Sant'Andrea. Up onto one of the finest stretches of the ancient Via Appia, its Roman paving perfectly preserved, past Tre Cancelle and along an old mule track to the Santa Maria delle Grazie church and Itri. About 20 km.
On arrival in Itri, consider a stop at Castello Caetani, close to the finish.
Look for these places on the stage map: Fondi, Greci, Cioavareccia, and Posaturo.
