In the footsteps of the ancient medieval pilgrims with “Romea Strata”

In the footsteps of the ancient medieval pilgrims with “Romea Strata” project.

The way of faith promoted by the Pilgrimage’s office of the Diocese of Vicenza give value to the paths used in the Middle Ages by the faithful that from Northern Europe, descending to Italy and along the Via Francigena, they arrived in Rome for visiting the tombs of Peter and Paul.

In the Middle Ages, in fact, there were seven historic streets that crossed the North East of Italy and into which flowed the pilgrims who came from Europe to go to Santiago de Compostela, Rome and Jerusalem.

The Romea Strata follows these ancient routes: from the north-east of Italy to Rome. The project involving five Italian regions, for a total of 1302 km and the route is divided into eight sections, whose names recall the territories and the ancient roads.
