Join us for a special “cultural pilgrimage” along The Via Francigena, a 1,000-year-old pilgrimage route from Canterbury to Rome. Learn its history and experience several of its most culturally illustrious cities, including San Gimignano with its soaring towers, Florence’s 14th century rival Siena, with its famed Duomo and wealth of artistic treasures, and the medieval town of Orvieto with its dazzling and “miraculous” cathedral. Our “guide” on this journey will be Carla Gambescia, award-winning author of "La Dolce Vita University: An Unconventional Guide to Italian Culture from A-to-Z."
