The Way of St. Augustine is a Marian pilgrimage in the name of the Saint of Grace, designed to reach and connect in its stages fifty Marian shrines in Lombardy. The route also touches on three Lombardy localities involved with the figure of Augustine of Hippo: Rus Cassiciacum (today Cassago Brianza, the place of his conversion), Milan (the imperial capital city and site of his baptism) and Pavia, where the Saint's relics are found. It is linked to the figure of Augustine of Hippo, who lived between the fourth and fifth centuries, a Christian philosopher, bishop and theologian, author of the Confessions, a work that has spanned the centuries for its modernity on the theme of the relationship between human freedom and divine grace. Brianza, and in particular Cassago, was fundamental in his life. It was there, in the autumn of 386, that Augustine converted to Christianity. The route involves a considerable extension on foot - in both directions - from Pavia to Genoa (the city where Augustine's relics were landed in the 7th century, to be transferred to Pavia along the Via del Sale). The current length of the Italian routes is 926 km. A continuation of the route for an additional 605 km is possible on North African soil, from Tunis-Carthage to Hippo and back, passing through Tagaste. The path is represented as a rose. The flower is an enclosed circular route of more than 350 km, to be covered ideally in 15 days of walking: it begins and ends in Monza, touching 30 Marian shrines and passing through the locality of Rus Cassiciacum. The Eastern Leaf is an approximately 99-km route from Milan to Monza in an easterly direction along the Villoresi and Martesana canals, touching 8 Marian shrines and providing a walking connection to the route for pilgrims arriving from Orio al Serio airport. To be covered in 4 days. The Western Leaf is a route from Monza to Milan in a westerly direction along the Villoresi Canal and the Waterways of the Expo 2015 area, to touch 8 Marian Shrines and ensure walking connection to the route to pilgrims arriving from Malpensa Airport. It is a stretch of about 68 km to be covered in 4 days. The stem joins the cities of Monza, Milan, Pavia and Genoa along the Naviglio Grande, the Naviglio Pavese and then along the Apennine Via del Sale. In Lombardy it runs about 68 km to Pavia. To be covered in 3 days.
