The first stage largely follows the permanent route of the Peace March, the annual walk/event linking the city of Perugia with the city of Saint Francis.

It may be regarded as a deviation from the historic Via Amerina, which originally led directly to Rome, although the city of Asisium was already an important Roman centre, as evidenced by the many remains from that period. It is a significant and unmissable stage, though it may be bypassed — for those already well acquainted with Assisi — by taking the variant from Ponte San Giovanni directly to Deruta.
