Vigne on the Ancient Via Flaminia

Vigne is situated on a hill crossed by the route of the ancient Via Flaminia. The village extends around the Chiesa di San Lino. For planning your trip, this means a place where historical connections and a clearly recognizable village structure exist side by side.

The NR5582 Via Flaminia Vecchia_10 stop in Vigne is a request stop.

Church, place name and monastic history

The Chiesa di San Lino was rebuilt after a fire at the beginning of the 20th century. Vigne was formerly known as Villa di Ponte Sanguinaro. This former name referred to Vigne’s proximity to the Roman bridge of Ponte Sanguinaro, which had the same name.

Mass is celebrated at the site of the Suore Consolatrici del Sacro Cuore di Gesù in Vigne di Narni. Vigne di Narni is also home to a restored 17th-century Capuchin monastery, which has been used by the novitiate since 2021. Those interested in religious architecture, local history or pilgrimage routes will find various points of interest here.

A section of the Cammino dei Protomartiri Francescani

The Cammino dei Protomartiri Francescani also passes through Vigne: 450 metres of the third stage run through the village. The stage leads from Calvi dell’Umbria to Narni and is 26.7 kilometres long in total. The 450 metres in Vigne are part of the 26.7-kilometre stage and do not constitute an additional distance when planning the route. The two figures help you plan the local passage and the complete stage length separately. This allows you to view Vigne both as a short section within the route and in the context of the entire trail.

Ancient sites, mountains and historic buildings

The ancient site of Ocriculum is located in the immediate vicinity of Vigne. The mountains Monte Trassiuari and Monte Bandita are also nearby. The surrounding area of Vigne also includes Monte San Croce, Monte Sassofreddo, the Palazzo ducale palace, Castello Orsini di Vasanello castle and the castle ruins of Ruderi del Castello di Borghetto.

For you as a traveller, Vigne therefore offers several specific areas of interest. When choosing your accommodation, you can consider whether the village church and its history, the religious character represented by Mass and the Capuchin monastery, or the section of the Cammino should be the main focus. The mountains and historic buildings in the surrounding area also offer a regional perspective. This allows you to shape your trip according to your preferred balance of local history, pilgrimage route and excursions into the surrounding area.
