La Via Francigena ❤️

The Via Francigena is an ancient medieval pilgrimage route that links north‑western Europe (notably Canterbury) to Rome and, in some stretches, as far as Santa Maria di Leuca. Today it is a popular route for slow and cultural tourism, walkable or rideable by bicycle for about 3,000 km, and it crosses seven Italian regions, including Tuscany and Lazio.

History and meaning
- Origins: It was one of the main communication routes in the Middle Ages, used by merchants and pilgrims to reach Rome and the holy places.
- Historical route: In 990, Archbishop Sigeric traveled the road from Canterbury to Rome and recorded the stages, helping to define the route now known as the “classic” Via Francigena.
- Modern rediscovery: It was rediscovered in the 1980s and was declared a “Cultural Route of the Council of Europe” in 1994.

Route and stages
- Main track: It starts in Canterbury, England, crosses France and Switzerland, then enters Italy through the Aosta Valley and descends toward Rome, passing through seven regions.
- Complete itinerary: From Rome the route extends southward to Puglia (mainly Brindisi and Santa Maria di Leuca), where pilgrims would embark for the Holy Land.
- Example of a Tuscan stretch: The stretch from Siena to Rome is about 290 km, doable in 12–13 days, and crosses Tuscan landscapes such as the Crete Senesi and the Val d’Orcia before continuing into Lazio through the Tuscia region.

How to travel it today
- Means: It can be done on foot—averaging about 20 km per day—or by bicycle; the text mentions completing it in roughly two weeks by bike.
- Preparation: It’s advisable to plan the route, pack a suitable backpack, and carry an official guide.
- Documents: There are pilgrim documents like the credenziale and the testimonium, which can be used to access hostels and to receive discounts in some places.

I'm from Italy and love visiting Civita di Bagnoregio, a small village less than two hours from Rome. It's peaceful, pretty, and full of things to do.

Beautiful hidden places in Italy

The coast of Tuscany—once considered wild and remote—remains an insider secret. Lee Marshall finds the good life on this swath of idyllic harbor towns and chic beach resorts, still protected from the crowds.
