The rite of pilgrims on their way to the sanctuary of San Francesco di Lula is also renewed in October. The church of the Rosary in Nuoro is the starting point for a nocturnal journey that is the path of the soul.

Zigheddu knows it well, Francesco Calledda, a native of Aritzo, is now the most famous 85-year-old in Sardinia and perhaps in Italy, who has done this more than 80 times. "It was wonderful this year, because compared to other years I created and brought with me the Su Caminu de Santu Frantziscu credential for the first time, having it signed by the parish priest of Aritzo upon departure, then by the mayors of Fonni and Mamoiada and finally to the parish priest of the Rosary ”.

Yes, because Zigheddu, on his journey to San Francesco, leaves at dawn the day before from Aritzo - his hometown - and, passing through Fonni and Mamoiada, arrives in Nuoro for the now historic appointment of the Rosary.
