A short stage, designed to break up the Todi–Amelia section for those who may prefer not to cover 32 kilometres in a single day.

Leaving Castel dell’Aquila, the route continues along the provincial road towards Amelia, which remains the main direction as far as Sambucetole, although with numerous deviations onto paths and unpaved tracks in order to avoid asphalted stretches. At Sambucetole, the route heads towards Cappuccini, beginning an ascent that, with one hundred metres of elevation gain, leads to the Capuchin convent, formerly the Hospice of Saint James.

Amelia is already visible from here and is reached by continuing along the same road as far as the riverside park of the Rio Grande; a new wooden bridge then marks the way up to the town.
