ad_hlab_min — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 12:42:29 +0000

The Roman tradition does not have fabulous tales, which narrate the birth or deeds of gods and heroes and are populated with supernatural creatures. From this point of view it can be said that the Romans do not possess myths, in the manner of those possessed by the Greeks. They have stories that form the foundations of their cultural tradition and to which they attach special importance: the stories.

In 990 AD, Sigeric, archbishop of Canterbury, travelled to Rome to meet Pope John XV and receive the investiture pallium. When travelling on the Via Francigena, one walks along the “European cultural corridor”, discovering highest artistic cultures from pre-Romanesque and Romanesque, to Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. The Via Francigena is indeed the oldest and most important medieval pilgrimage route connecting Northwestern Europe with the Italian peninsula and in particular with Rome. With its different roles as a military road, trade route and a pilgrimage route throughout the Middle Ages – the Via Francigena put different values and traditions in contact and has been an extremely important vehicle for transmitting cultural messages from one part of Europe to another. The route often runs along main streets and is bordered by the most important monuments, beautiful buildings and archaeological sites.

East-West Schism, also called Schism of 1054, event that precipitated the final separation between the Eastern Christian churches (led by the patriarch of Constantinople, Michael Cerularius) and the Western church (led by Pope Leo IX). The mutual excommunications by the pope and the patriarch in 1054 became a watershed in church history. The excommunications were not lifted until 1965, when Pope Paul VI and Patriarch Athenagoras I, following their historic meeting in Jerusalem in 1964, presided over simultaneous ceremonies that revoked the excommunication decrees.

Francigena route

ad_hlab_min — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 12:41:03 +0000

More than 3000 kilometers, from Canterbury to Rome and Santa Maria di Leuca, to walk step by step on mountain paths, mule tracks, rural and secondary roads, cypress-lined dirt roads or among majestic pines. Under your feet are the oldest streets of these beautiful countries. Streets paved with river stones worn by the passage of time, until you reach the “cobblestones” of Rome. The trail will take you through villages where all roads lead to Rome. The official route of the Via Francigena is the safest, and was carefully designed to be traveled by all ages.
