I walked the VF March to June this year.
Here's what my credenziali looked like; front & back.
I had no problem obtaining stamps from accommodation each night.
Happy trails,

We got ours in Lucca at the tourist info shop next to the main gate of the city

This passport looks soooo great.

You should see them full!
It took two VF passports (double sided; one side for stamps & the other side stamps & a map) + a separate one for the PWC...thats a lot of stamp collecting!

Enjoy your planning.

The Pilgrim Credential – Confraternity of Pilgrims to Rome

The credential, also known as the pilgrim passport, or credenziali. This is a vital document if you wish to stay in pilgrim accommodation and/or obtain the Testimonium. when you arrive in Rome. Those who have walked any of the Caminos to Santiago de Compostela will be familiar with the concept...

francigena entry point is in fact in casa boia, so they are one and the same.

Never mind...your type may not impressively concertina but it was probably more durable!

 

[caminka]

Never mind...your type may not impressively concertina but it was probably more durable!

durability still does not trump the unfoldability. I like it when I can unfold my credencial (at home, for a random example) and admire all my stamps (and show them off to my mom). and I have two of these booklets because I like collecting my stamps very much, and I can't unfold them.
...finally got that off my chest...

Glad to oblige @caminka...& commiserations Yes...I do have to admit I like the grand unfolding revealing the dazzling array of stamps As the VF went on, I had that big sweeping arm movement down to a fine art!
My suggestion for you; you'll just have to do the walks again...this time with a 'proper' credenziale!

Hi. Of course yes.
Only the name "Casa del Boia" does not appear in all the guides. And it is usually known more by those who have already done the Via Francigena.
