From Ponte a Rigo, you can follow the hilly alternative route that passes through Proceno and offers beautiful views over the Paglia Valley below. You reach Proceno by crossing the so-called “Gate of Lazio,” which marks the border between Lazio and Tuscany.
This route is longer than the official itinerary but significantly safer as it avoids the traffic on the Via Cassia.
TOTAL LENGTH: 18.5 km

The only bar and pizzeria in Proceno, managed by the co-operative association, supports the local community with proximity services, having a significant impact on various aspects of social, economic, and cultural life. Its welcoming and cozy environment is enriched by social events such as musical soirées and tasting experiences, which foster interaction among community members while also attracting tourists and pilgrims. These initiatives contribute to social and economic vitality and create integration routes for disadvantage groups, increasing the availability of qualified job opportunities.
The building includes a ground floor (seating capacity: 25) and an upper floor (seating capacity: 45); during the summer a spacious outdoor area is also available.
The business collaborates with local producers, promoting regional excellence, including Proceno’s red garlic, and offering high-quality and sustainable zero miles meals.
