Companion to the Via Francigena
In this 2011 edition the authors continue to use the official route in Italy, as approved and signed by the Italian Minister of Culture, but also offer additional opportunities where it is too challenging for one or more groups. This density of information has increased the number of instruction sheets and the decision has been taken to transfer all cultural and historical information to the Companion to the via Francigena.
