Discover Vigne: Via Flaminia, history and the Cammino

Vigne on the hill and the ancient Via Flaminia

Vigne is located on a hill crossed by the route of the ancient Via Flaminia. For those interested in culture, the historical connection lies in the combination of the hill and the ancient road. The historic route shapes the spatial approach, while the hill forms the topographical setting.

The third Cammino stage and its section through Vigne

The third stage of the Cammino dei Protomartiri Francescani leads from Calvi dell’Umbria to Narni and is 26.7 kilometres long. 450 metres of this stage lead through Vigne. For hikers, the stage connects the start in Calvi dell’Umbria, the section through Vigne and the destination in Narni. When planning the complete stage, the total length is what counts, while the 450 metres mark the section through the village. The 26.7 kilometres therefore refer to the entire route and not to the distance within the village.

Request stop and the church’s daily rhythm

In Vigne, there is the NR5582 Via Flaminia Vecchia_10 bus stop. It is a request stop. In addition to its number, the stop bears the street name Via Flaminia Vecchia_10.

At the location of the Suore Consolatrici del Sacro Cuore di Gesù in Vigne di Narni, Mass is celebrated on Sundays and public holidays at 08:00, and on weekdays at 07:30. The early times can be taken into account when planning the morning. Anyone incorporating the church’s daily rhythm can structure their morning around these times.

Chiesa di San Lino and Capuchin monastery

The village of Vigne extends around the Chiesa di San Lino. The church was rebuilt after a fire at the beginning of the 20th century. The fire thus marks the occasion for the reconstruction.

Vigne di Narni is also home to a 17th-century Capuchin monastery. The monastery has been restored and has been used by the novitiate since 2021.

Vigne was formerly known as Villa di Ponte Sanguinaro. The former name referred to Vigne’s proximity to the Roman bridge of the same name, Ponte Sanguinaro. The former designation thus incorporates the name of the Roman bridge. The historical name remains separate in time from the current name of the village.
