After this first stretch without a sidewalk, the remainder of the route continues along a pedestrian shoulder. At Ponte San Giovanni, continue right along Via Pieve di Campo (km 6): a small pilgrim hostel has been built next to the parish church here. After the railway overpass, turn left at the crossroads with Via Manzoni in the direction of Via Nino Bixio. At the traffic circle, continue straight. At the second traffic circle (km 7), turn right to pass over Ponte Vecchio. At the end of the bridge, descend to the left toward the bank of the Tiber River; take the walking path here. Continue until the signage directs you to climb to the right toward the Superstrada E45. Follow the unpaved road under the highway, passing the highway overpass.

Continue straight on Via Los Angeles to Santa Maria degli Angeli. Pass through the first traffic circle; at the second traffic circle you will see the Basilica Papale di Santa Maria degli Angeli (km 22.4), which holds the tiny Porziuncola chapel. This is an important stop, where pilgrims can take in the presence of Assisi’s humble saint and the Order of the Friars Minor. From the Basilica, take the strada mattonata—brick-lined road—which is one of the oldest stretches along Saint Francis’ Way. From here you will be treated to a beautiful view of your destination: the Basilica di San Francesco. Continue along the strada mattonata and, after a flight of stairs, turn left for Porta San Pietro (km 24.8) and Assisi.
