Via Francigena: Medieval Pilgrimage Routes Across Italy - Boots to lift your spirits
Summary
This blog explores the Via Francigena, Italy’s medieval pilgrimage route from the Alps to Rome, blending history, landscapes, and wildlife encounters. Pilgrims experience alpine passes with golden eagles, wetlands alive with Marsh and Hen Harriers, and Tuscan hills lined with vineyards and villages.
Each stage tests endurance but also offers reflection, as walking becomes both physical challenge and spiritual journey.
The blog emphasises how boots are more than footwear — they are companions that protect, support, and uplift the spirit. Field & Moor boots, with their durability, waterproofing, and comfort, mirror the resilience required of pilgrims.
They ensure that each step, whether on rocky passes, muddy plains, or ancient Roman roads, is steady and uplifting. Just as harriers still sweep Italy’s skies as they did for medieval travellers, Field & Moor boots help modern pilgrims walk further, more joyfully, and with the confidence to complete the journey to Rome.
