Alberto Alberti & Nicholas Havely
XIII WORLD ITALIAN LANGUAGE WEEK – Research, Discovery, Innovation: Italy & Knowledge
The ancient Via Francigena is the pilgrim route which starts from Canterbury in England, and in a sense is the “mother road” for Christian pilgrims in Europe. For centuries, pilgrims from across Europe would trek across the Alps using the famous Saint Bernard Pass en route to the pilgrim churches of Rome. During the Middle Ages, the Via Francigena was extended further south to the port of Bari, home of the remains of St. Nicholas and departure point for the Holy Land and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
