A 3,200 km walking route from Canterbury to Rome and then to Santa Maria di Leuca, which demands a few months’ time to be completed: the Via Francigena is a great example of what is called ‘slow tourism’.
It is an opportunity for responsible tourism that prioritizes the local habitat, allowing to live the landscape in its most authentic dimension, with the slowness of steps, and to better observe what surrounds us, to appreciate its beauty and, sometimes, to recognize the environmental impacts and challenges of our society.
