Overview

This trip starts from Parma, a real gastronomic heaven, and leads you through Medieval hamlets and ancient archeological sites to cross the Appennines at Cisa Pass, the gate of Tuscan Via Francigena. You then plunge into the mysterious atmosphere of Lunigiana, the little-known land of the moon, to later reach world-famous Tuscan towns such as Lucca and San Gimignano.
