La Via della Lana e della Seta
The Wool and Silk Road is 130 kilometers long and is traditionally divided into six stages of approximately 23 kilometers each from Bologna to Prato and vice versa.
The route is medium-difficult and for this reason less experienced walkers can "break up" each stage by stopping at strategic points which are located approximately halfway along the route.
A journey is not just a starting point to reach a destination. But it is a path that crosses thousands of small, large worlds that alternate within it, creating the whole of an unforgettable experience.
​Whether you decide to follow the path from Bologna to Prato or from Prato to Bologna, the Way will therefore have a lot to show you. From its wild nature, to the most recent history linked to the Second World War, from the world of sacred art to impressive evidence linked to industrial archaeology... and much, much more!
The stage of Sasso Marconi
This trip is structured in six stages, also stops at Sasso Marconi.
Here with a small detour you can also visit the village 700 'di Colle Ameno.
The route passes directly from the city center with the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Sasso where inside it is marked a eighteenth century canvas of "Madonna in throne with children, angels, saints", probably of French school, and a beautiful painting of the school of Carracci that represents the Madonna del Carmine with Saints Peter, Paul, John the Evangelist and Francis.
