The first day of the pilgrimage “From the Apennines to the Sea with St Anthony” leads participants from Longiano to Rimini along 29 km of history, spirituality, and the landscapes of Romagna. Guided by Fr. Nicola Zuin (OFM Conv) and several volunteers, pilgrims will experience an intense journey through villages, moments of meditation, and significant places linked to the Antonian tradition.
The event is organized by the Sanctuary of the Holy Crucifix in Longiano, in collaboration with the Cammino di sant’Antonio, the Cammino San Francesco Rimini–La Verna, and the association Umana Dimora, as part of the regional program “I Love Cammini – Emilia Romagna 2026.”
