An original walk combining nature, history and spirituality through the places of the legend 'of the Winged Mule', represented in an ancient fresco, preserved in the Basilica of SS Quattro Coronati in Rome, with the stories of Constantine.
The story goes that the Emperor, sick with leprosy, was advised in a dream to turn to a hermit saint who lived on Mount Soratte.
Reached by the imperial messengers, Sylvester, the future Pope, jumped on the back of a mule and in 'four leaps' reached Constantine who, after being baptised, was cured.
Along the route, traces, stories and curiosities from the places of the legend and beyond can be found.
