✦ Quelli della Via APS
Keepers of the Way.
The association was born from the meeting, on the pilgrimage ways towards Santiago de Compostela and towards Rome, of seven pilgrims who chose to make their own experience of the way available to others, in order to safeguard and promote the Via di Giovanni Battista and the values of pilgrimage; and Quelli della Via is the most ancient name for those who choose the way as a form of seeking, of living, of encounter.

The statute expressly provides for participation, as lead partner or partner, in regional, national and European funding calls — with particular reference to the Interreg programmes for territorial cooperation and to the Council of Europe programmes for Cultural Routes.
A voice that calls in the silence:
prepare for the way.
It is not the destination that matters. It is the direction you heed.
