In 2023, the number of people who undertook a Camino in Italy exceeded 100,000 for the first time.The data comes from the dossier "Italy Country of Cammini”, presented during the annual fair Do the right thing, organized by the non-profit organization Terre di mezzo in Milan, where the event took place between Friday 22nd and Sunday 24th March.The dossier was developed by collecting the responses of 113 Cammini managers who issue credentials - fate of walkers' passports which certify the passage from a specific place during the Itinerary -, or testimonium – documents certifying completion of a Way.The scenario drawn by the report is that of a sharply increasing phenomenon, which confirms the growth trend in recent years recording an increase not only in the number of people involved, but also in the number of structured Paths.
