Via Francigena: An Italian Pilgrimage
Via Francigena is a 2200 km pilgrimage route that goes from Canterbury UK to Rome.
This past spring, we had an opportunity to walk a small portion of the Italian route to Rome through the Tuscan region, a 550 Km journey.
We started the walk from Sarzanna. Our route continued onwards into the Tuscan country, Bolsena Lake district and finally arrive at the eternal city of Rome.

what month did you do your Camino?
We walked it in mid Sept.to mid Oct. The weather is not hot, cool, very pleasant. But it is fall, so expect some rainy days. Buen Camino.
where do i fly to from USA... las Vegas
Use a travel app such as Google Map or Rome to Rio to see the best options to travel from Las Vegas to Oviedo, Spain. From Madrid, you can either take a bus, train, or flight to Oviedo the beginning point of this Camino. Beware that the closest airport near Oviedo is called Aeropurto de Austurias, a reginal airport. There are express buses that take you into the Oviedo from that airport, very easy and quick.
Congrats, so beautiful and well explained. Wich month did you do it?
How beautiful ! Thanks for sharing your amazing pilgrimage adventure !
How many days did it take?
From Sarzanna to Rome is about 22 days of walking, average about 20 km per day. We took rest days at Lucca and Siena. We followed the stages from the Cicerone guide book, mostly anyway.
Fantastic video, thank you!
Thank you, glad you like it. One beautiful walk.
Dawn says she booked in advance. How far in advance, I think she said that she booked in the morning for that night, once she figured out how far she wanted to walk that day. Thanks
I really appreciate your videos. We just returned from our second leg of the Le Puy route ... might consider this one also. I loved Arles when we visited.
Excellent Video documentary. May I ask what month of the year you travelled through this camino? Plannin for 2026. Thanks.
We walked the Camino Primitivo in the fall, Sept. The weather is cool, not too hot. However, prepare for rain as the season changes to fall. Buen Camino!
This is one of the clearest and most useful videos - It targets exactly what you need to be well prepared for the Camino. Thank you Dr Docherty.
Very informative and well explained, thank you so much ❤
Ciao Dennis! Ci siamo conosciuti alla tappa di Altopascio ( ricordi il libro ?) Se vuoi e puoi vorrei condividere il mio soggiorno sulla Via Francigena. Per farlo conoscere in giro tra i pellegrini, grazie ! Fammi sapere e ti mando link 🚶♂️
Dennis he visto un par de videos tuyos y son muy bonitos y de gran calidad. Felicitaciones! Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Guanajuato, Mexico 🇲🇽
Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Vienen más videos. Buen Camino.
Very helpful 🙏🏼thanks
Hi Jim! Daphne here from the Yukon... super great video, thank you.💕🌷💐 Can you tell me what time of year you went?
It was late Sept to early Oct. The weather around that time is fair but do prepare for rainy days. Buen Camino!
Dr. Dave Docherty THAAANK YOU!!! Very helpfull!!!!
Loved your video, thank you for sharing - I start my Primitivo in June, so looking forward to it.
Primitivo is a wonderful route, a lot of ups and downs, beautiful from the beginning to the end. Buen Camino!
Another great trip documented with style! Well done, Dennis!
Thanks! So much to see on the Camino. Next stop, we are walking to Rome this spring!
We loved to be reminded of all of those beautiful memories, thanks!!! It is an awesome video 🎉
Cool, glad you like it. It was the unforgettable pilgrims that we met along the way that makes Camino Primitivo so meaningful. Thanks for being part of our journey!
Amazing views of Spain 😊
Glad you like it, buen camino.
Great interview, very informative! We are walking the Le Puy/Chemin route this summer. It will be our 6th Camino and we can't wait.
Glad it helps, have a good walk, bon chemin!
love Camino Maggie!!!
She is an inspiration for all of us, glad to hear you like the interview.
Thank you so much for this. I am going to do a Camino next year and now I think it may be Camino Le Puy.
It is a wonderful route, good food and good scenery. Bon chemin!
Guess what I just got in the mail!! Part 1 of the Via book series!! God willing and the creek don't rise...next year it's Rome for me!
Good luck! We will be walking the last part of the Via 2024 spring, will post new video once we are back.
Thank you for very helpful info🙏🏽 Starting from Le Puy August 16th😊💖
Buen Camino!

Great, live the life the you want to live. Buen Camino!
Planning to walk this in september. have walked five Caminos and do NOT want to ever walk from Sarria to Santiago again!
The last 100 K is very busy, and it seems it getting even more busier. There are many other routes that aren't so intense. Buen Camino!
My dude, I need those Camino gaiters!
You can get them from Dirty girl gaiter, they are great to block debris go into the shoes.Buen Camino.
Wow, amazing video! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Truely it is a beautiful place to visit by walking it. Buen Camino.
Thank- you for this interview and information. I walked the Camino Frances in 2013 from St. Jean pied de port to Burgos, and then finished in 2019. Would love to do the Via Francigena, in fact I will be in Tuscany with family this Sept. so I will be looking for signs. 😊
Congratulations 🎉
Thanks what a great video ! Planning this for next year so very helpful
Buen Camino, the del Norte is wonderful and not crowded.
Fantastic. Can I ask. What shoes did u wear. Trainers or boots or whatever.
Camino Frances is a well travelled route, some sections of the route is sort of rough but mostly back country roads. A pair of trail trainers are good enough, not so hot on your feet. Buen Camino!
This is beautiful and so artistically made: Dennis I can see the artist in you and Jim the commentaries are great. Well done both of you!
Glad you like it, we really enjoyed our time together with you on all of our Camino walks.
What a beautiful journey and a great job putting it all together. Love it! ♥️
Camino del Norte seems very hard at time, but it wasn't. The scenery was so beautiful there.
Another masterpiece Gents, beautiful choice of music.
Thanks, glad you like it. The right stock music works magic with the shots.
Great work Jim and Dennis! Took me back to last fall….
We were happy to share the journey with you.
Hi Nadine, I have enjoyed your videos about various Caminos. I have already done the Chemin du Puy, and I am hoping to do the Via Gebennensis in May. Have you done this Camino and do you have good information and/or resources regarding this Camino? Thank you and Buen Camino. :)
No we haven't done that route, it is new to me, thanks for bring this to our radar! Buen Camino!
So the medical help was the chocolates?
When it seems daunting to walk 800Km, a little chocolate goes a long way on the Camino, or on any walk :)
This is really inspiring 😊I would like to go the Camino del Norte. But I guess I will only be able to do it when I am 60+.This video gives me hope that I will be able to do it.
The Camino is for all abilities, you can walk as far, or as little as you like at the Camino, there are plenty of services that you can use to help you to get to Santiago. Walking the Camino is a one of the kind experience, there is nothing like it. Buen Camino.
@@caminodennis thank you!
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing.
When you said lack of bathroom facilities, what did you mean? There weren’t any? There weren’t many? No showers? Could you elaborate please. Great video thanks
When an Albergue can house 25 pilgrims, but there are only 2 shower stalls for everyone, it could be a little wait. However, all the Albergues that we have been to are all come with washroom facilities. Some are better then others of course. Some rustic ones won't have electricity, so no hot water, but those are rare. It is all part of the Camino experience. Imagine an Albergue has no electricity, only light would be candle lights, that is something awesome to experience.
@@caminodennis ok that clears it up, thank you
Can I ask what the over body bag for passport, money etc is?? Brand??
I recommand money belt for passport / money, one can buy them on line or at travel store. Search under "cross body bag" or "money belt". The Camino is safe, however, as with any international travel, be mindful of one's vauleables is a must. Buen Camino.
We start this camino in 4 weeks April 23. We have walked all over Spain but I'm worried about this as we're Vegan but will go vegetarian. Can they accommodate our diet?
Best way is to call ahead to speak to your host to see if they can accommondate one's Vegan diet. Please keep in mind that you will be travelling in the rural part of France and their culinary tradition runs deep. Be flexible is the key. You will need to speak some French when talking to the host about your requst (use translation apps). Bring your own food if you can purchase them ahead of time if all options failed.
Great. What time of year did you go
It was a fall Camino for Maggie.
What a fabulous lady …..she is an inspiration. Please do more of these types of interviews. ~Namaste
Nice couple! Good ideas. Thanks!
Very interesting experience, walking in thr winter! Thanks for sharing. I have secular intention to walk the camino one day.
Buen Camino!
Amazing lady! Thank you for this wonderful interview!
what month did you go?
They went July/Aug. Buen Camino!
