The road to Rome
Pilgrim’s Credentials
Those who walk the Via Francigena can enter in a deep connection with oneself but also in a network of people who host them along the way. In Italy, the route is historically scattered by Misericordie which can give free accommodation to wayfarers. That spirit is restored by private accomodation who decide to simulate the mercifull hospitality giving a special discount on their staying for all pilgrims. To do that you can get a pilgrim passport (which is not an official document!) where you can mark your walking achievement with persolaized stamp which can easily become a beautiful souvenir of your alternative journey.
