hi all!
as a part of my next year's plan of walking to santiago, I will be crossing northern italy from east to west, from the slovenian border to the french border, mostly along the adriatic and the mediterranean. I chose the 'easiest' way and planned my journey around the routes that have been recently researched (and waymarked?) by local camino organisations.
for italy these are: Cammino Celeste (http://www.camminoaquileiese.it/) with a full description in Italian, superb maps and a list of accommodation and services. Associazione Triveneta Amici de Santiago has description in Italian, excellent maps and info on both Via Grado-Aquileiense (http://www.amicidisantiago.it/aquileiese/aquileiese.htm) and Via Romea Leona (http://www.amicidisantiago.it/romea/leona.htm). There are many sites on Via Francigena, perhaps the most complete is Associazione Europea delle Vie Francigene (http://www.associazioneviafrancigena.com/default.asp?s=66&o=1129&c=769) with maps and detailed descriptions in Italian of stages and a list of accommodation. Some meagre info on Alta Via del Golfo is on Sentiero AVG (http://www.consorziopromozioneleric...=184:sentiero-avg&catid=60:sentieri&Itemid=68). English description of Sentierro Azzurro is on Cinque Terre Blue path (http://www.cinqueterre.us/htm/eng/walking/blue-path-sentiero-azzurro.asp), and this and other paths in Cinque Terre region, with general maps and descriptions in Italian, are on Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre (http://www.parconazionale5terre.it/sez_73_1.asp?id_lingue=1). La Via della Costa (http://viadellacosta.com/) now has its own site, in Italian, French and Spanish, with description of stages (in west-east direction), general maps, profiles, and suggested pilgrim accommodation.
I also couldn't help to put my two cents into it and made these accommodations lists (http://camino-medieval.webs.com/accommodationlists.htm) that, apart from listing the sleeping options, also provide various other info.
I know the info on long-distance paths in italy isn't easy to come by (especially if you don't understand italian, at all), so I hope this will help all those who wish to walk in this direction. but do not limit yourself to these routes, they are just my choices!
take care!
