Suggestions Please - Starting Point for VF?
I just walked from Turin to Rome this past Feb/Mar. I would suggest backing up just a bit to Piacenza, which I found to be a charming town. You'd still be past most of the flatlands, but it would get you closer to the 700-800 km.- WisTom

In February and...- WisTom

A Via Francigena Wave in 2022 ?
I walked the VdlP/Sanabrés starting in February of 2019. While many of the municipal albergues were closed, it was always possible to find some accommodation - although some stages were 40+ km. I plan to start the VF from Torino to Vercelli to Rome on February 18, 2022 and am hoping that the...- WisTom
