Towards the end of the 2nd century A.D. pilgrimage gained increasing importance. The holy places of Christianity were Jerusalem, Rome and Santiago de Compostela. The Via Francigena was the central hub of these pilgrimage routes. Many pilgrims walking along this road from the north to Rome, continued along the Via Appia and reached the ports of Puglia, where they embarked for the Holy Land. Italian pilgrims going to Santiago walked to the north and then embarked for the French ports, or walked along the Via Tolosana and reached Spain.
THE VIA FRANCIGENA The Via Francigena has been the pilgrimage route to Rome since the Middle Ages. It was used not only by simple pilgrims, but also by kings, popes and princes. Inns, hospitals, monasteries, boroughs and castles were built along its path; therefore it became an important trade and cultural route.
2
A SHORT HISTORY OF THE VIA FRANCIGENA The Via Francigena was a connecting route which contributed to the cultural unity of Europe in the Middle Ages. We can trace the ancient route of the Via Francigena by using travel diaries, and in particular, the records of a famous pilgrim, Sigeric the Serious. In 990, after being ordained Archbishop of Canterbury by Pope John XV, the abbot returned home and noted the 79 “mansions” where he had stayed on two handwritten pages. The pilgrimage of Sigeric the Serious, Archbishop of Canterbury, marked the beginning of the Via Francigena. In the seventh century the Lombards fought against the Byzantines to get more Italian territories. The strategic need to connect the Kingdom of Pavia with the southern duchies led to the choice of a road, which crossed the Apennines by the Cisa Pass, followed the Magra Valley and then turned away from the coast towards Lucca.
The path continued through the Elsa Valley towards Siena, and then through the famous D’Orcia and Arbia valleys towards Val di Paglia and Latium. The route, which was known as Via di Monte Bardone, became less used after the fall of the Empire. In the following centuries the Roman paving stones gradually disappeared to be replaced by a network of paths and tracks trodden by travellers. When the Lombards’ rule gave way to the Franks’ rule, the route changed its name into the Via Francigena, or “road from France”; this included the Rhine Valley and the Netherlands. It became the main connecting route between northern and southern Europe and it was used by merchants, armies and pilgrims. 3
PILGRIMAGE THROUGH THE AGES During the Middle Ages, the Via Francigena was an important pilgrimage route, not a single road, although it included several possible routes that changed over the centuries. All roads lead to Rome, you know! The Via Francigena, unlike ancient Roman roads, connected abbeys, linking the sacred places of the Christian world. This road, soon, became an important route for men and goods, thus contributing to the great rebirth of European commerce. The increasing use of the Via Francigena as a trade route led to the development of many towns along the road. The route became the main route to take the goods (silk, spices...) from the east to the markets of northern Europe and trade them for cloth from Flanders and Brabant to the Champagne fairs. In the 13th century the growing importance of Florence and the Arno Valley area marked the end of this ancient route. Nowadays the official route is divided into 79 stages and begins in Canterbury, continues in France, Switzerland and Italy and ends in Rome. It is 2,000 km long and crosses seven Italian regions - Valle d'Aosta, Piedmont, Lombardy, Emilia Romagna, Liguria, Tuscany and Latium - and 140 municipalities, with a total of 44 stages in Italy. Today the Via Francigena is also a journey through the Italian landscape, which changes greatly: from the pastures of the Aosta Valley to the industrial and agricultural plains of Piedmont, from the Po River to the rolling hills of Emilia Romagna, from the harshness of northern Tuscany to the sweetness of the Crete Senesi and the enchantment of the volcanic lakes of Latium. This journey makes modern pilgrims really understand the landscape, the past and the present. The journey turns into a gradual immersion in the roots of our culture, in which changes in the landscape, small and great works of art, the people we meet along the road, make us understand the essence of our heritage.

In San Miniato the Via Francigena passes through the old town centre, touches the old borough of San Genesio at the foot of the hill, which was chosen by Popes, Emperors and Bishops to host councils in ancient times.

SAN GENESIO: AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE
7
The history of this site goes back to even further than the Middle Ages. Excavations have brought to light evidence of activity in the area spanning from Etruscan times to the Roman and late Ancient periods, when a large necropolis was formed. The remains of a village were found in the Lombard period. The settlement consisted of wooden buildings and a small stone church. Probably, the town was linked with the city of Lucca, which used it as a strategic check point to monitor the road and river traffic in the Arno river valley. A new church called the Pieve di San Genesio was built at the end of the 7th century. Castelfiorentino - From the end of the 1400s, a pilgrim walking along the Via Francigena could see two tabernacles, frescoed by the Florentine painter, Benozzo Gozzoli, near Castelfiorentino. We can find the Tabernacle of Madonna della Tosse near the “Church of the Saints Pietro and Paolo” in Coiano, the 21st stop of Sigeric’s itinerary. Benozzo Gozzoli frescoed “The Death and Annunciation of the Madonna” inside.There was another tabernacle, called the Tabernacle della Visitazione depicting The Virgin Mary’s Life by Benozzo Gozzoli. Today the two tabernacles are in the Benozzo Gozzoli’s Museum in Castelfiorentino.
Montaione - Montaione is a small medieval village perched on top of a hill dominating the Elsa Valley. The centre is built around a tower and is surrounded by ancient walls. In Montaione you can visit the Civic Museum, where the oldest relics is a sixthcentury B.C. Etruscan "stele" statue depicting a warrior with a helmet, a spear and a shield on a tombstone .You can also visit the “Franciscan Convent of the Sacred Mount” in San Vivaldo, called Jerusalem since it reproduces the places of the Holy City in reduced scale.

Before departure, a medical check-up would be recommended, because the journey is beautiful but it is also difficult and tiring.
31
WHEN TO GO‌.? The best months for a pilgrimage along the Via Francigena are May or June and September or October. For each leg in Tuscany the presence of the paving of the route is reported in percentage, so that a pilgrim can choose whether to have the journey on foot or by bicycle. It is useful to know that the Great St. Bernard Pass is generally open only from the beginning of September, because of the snow that makes it impassable for most of the year. Even the Cisa Pass can also be covered in snow during late autumn or early spring.
