The Via Francigena is the route that, in the Middle Ages, thousands of pilgrims walked from Canterbury to get to Rome.
The route had to be made mostly on foot (for penitential reasons) with an average of 20-25 kilometers per day and it was driven by a fundamentally devotional: the pilgrimage to the holy places of Christianity.
This street full of history and spirituality crossed England, France and finally Italy.
Here are the cities where stop and walk on Via Francigena: Gran San Bernardo, Aosta, Ivrea, Santhia, Vercelli, Pavia, Piacenza, Fiorenzuola Fidenza, Parma, Fornovo, Pontremoli, Aulla Luni, Lucca, San Genesio, San Gimignano, Siena, San Quirico, Bolsena, Viterbo, Sutri and finally Rome.
On the way is also possible to walk or bike on mountain and plain roads leading to the capital.
Many structures, including Farm Holidays and Bed and Breakfast, can give hospitality to pilgrims who decided to make this journey into the mystical and spiritual center of Christianity.
