Pilgrim’s Credentials
Inspired by the spirit of hospitality and mercy, those who walk the Via Francigena is not only a way to enter in a deep connection with oneself but also in a network of new people. In Italy, above all, the sacred route was covered by Misericordie which have gave free accommodation to wayfarers. Today that spirit is recovered and stimulated through the use of a pilgrim’s passport, a document that marks the stages travelled and becomes almost an ID, as well as a beautiful travel souvenir. With the passport the doors of many accommodation facilities open.
