Rimarra’ impressa l’accoglienza della chiesa di San Francesco che con il loro calore e convivialita’ hanno reso una sera normale in qualcosa di unico.
Dopo i saluti dovuti m’incammino verso le colline viterbesi, ricche di ulivi e profumi.
Stupendo il quartiere di San Pellegrino, quartiere medioevale.

The Via Francigena is the common name of an ancient road and pilgrim route running from France to Rome, though it is usually considered to have its starting point much further away, in the English cathedral city of Canterbury. As such, the route passes through England, France, Switzerland and Italy covering 1900 kms.
In mediaeval times it was an important road and pilgrimage route for those wishing to visit the Holy See and the tombs of the apostles Peter and Paul.
We will be following Francesco Piacentini as he walks back up the country to Lucca and unlike Sigrid the Serious, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who walked the route to Rome and recorded his travels in a journal in the 10th century, we shall be using instagram, cell phones and the 21st century technology of the internet to keep you informed on a daily basis of Francesco’s progress.
