For centuries, the Via Francigena carried pilgrims, merchants and armies across Europe to Rome, shaping the towns and communities that grew along its route.
In this episode of The Thinking Traveller, Dr Jeni Ryde joins us to discuss the history of this ancient road, from its medieval origins and changing fortunes to the fortified hill towns, landscapes and cultural heritage that still mark its course through Italy today.
