The Festa dei Pugnaloni is a traditional event held in Acquapendente, Italy. It dates back to the 17th century and is celebrated annually on the 14th of May. During the festival, large, colorful mosaics, known as "pugnaloni," are displayed throughout the town's streets.
These mosaics are created using flower petals, seeds, and other natural materials, meticulously arranged to form intricate designs and scenes. Each pugnalone represents a different historical or cultural theme, and local neighborhoods compete to produce the most impressive and creative artwork.
The festival's origins are linked to the town's devotion to the Virgin Mary, and the event is an expression of gratitude for protection from earthquakes and other natural disasters. The festivities also include music, dance, and religious processions, making it a vibrant and joyous celebration that attracts both locals and visitors from all over Italy and beyond.
We were privileged to be in Aquapendente on this day and were truly astounded by the effort that goes into the preparations and the talent of the people of Aquapendente.
We then set off for Bolsena, the weather looked good even though there were thundershowers forecasted for the late afternoon. The hike was very pretty and mixed farmlands with forests and very little road walking. The view and decent into Bolsena was really pretty.
We did get caught in a very scary thunderstorm and the hail that I have been joking about since Radicofani did join us for about 10 minutes.
We eventually arrived in beautiful Bolsena, and we were looking forward to our rest day between Bolsena and Civita di Bagnoregio tomorrow.
We booked at VesConte Residenza D'epoca dal 1533 in Bolsena for the night, if you are keen to sleep in a 15th century palace/museum, I have included a walk though in the video.
Bolsena is truly amazing, we loved it, more on that in tomorrow's video

We left Radicofani in the cold and rain, all raingear on, and were feeling exited for the mostly downhill route into Aquapendente.
I really enjoyed Radicofani, a small village located in the province of Siena, Tuscany, Italy. Its history dates back to ancient times, with evidence of Etruscan settlements in the area. However, the village gained prominence during the medieval period.
In the 10th century, Radicofani became a strategic stronghold due to its location atop a volcanic rock hill. It served as a defensive outpost along the Via Francigena. The village's fortress, the Rocca di Radicofani, was constructed during this time to protect the region from invasions.
During the 13th century, Radicofani was ruled by the powerful feudal family, the Aldobrandeschi. The village flourished under their control, and the fortress was expanded and strengthened. However, conflicts between various city-states and noble families in Tuscany resulted in frequent sieges and battles.
One of the most notable figures associated with Radicofani is Ghino di Tacco, a legendary outlaw and nobleman from the 13th century. Ghino used the fortress as his stronghold and became a renowned figure for his exploits against the wealthy and powerful. His story has been immortalized in literature and folklore.
Over the centuries, Radicofani changed hands multiple times as control shifted between various powers, including the Republic of Siena, the Medici family, and the Papal States. The village witnessed numerous conflicts and struggles during this period, including the wars between Siena and Florence.
Today, Radicofani retains its medieval charm and is a popular tourist destination. The Rocca di Radicofani still stands, offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The village's rich history, picturesque streets, and cultural heritage continue to attract visitors from around the world.

We left San Quiroco d'Orcia on what was going to be one of the toughest days of the trip. It was wet, muddy and made some of the route impossible to navigate, especially the stretch just off the Strada del Pozzo to the Via Cassia, before Gallina. We made the call to head to Gallina and then to Radicofani from there.
The 8km steep climb into Radicofani after already completing 24kms of the route is really tough, especially when the weather conditions are not great.
The swim at the non-so thermal springs at Bagno Vignoni in the rain ended up leaving us freezing cold. We did consider gate crashing the thermal swimming pool of one of the exclusive hotels to try and warm up, but no such luck.
Radicofani itself is a little gem high above the rest of Tuscany, it's much colder up there and it is peaceful and beautiful. I walk around in circles trying to find a shop to buy supplies. The place is built like a cruel maze for Via Francigena pilgrims to try and find their way through the town without ending up in the same place you started. I must've done an extra 6kms in the town alone, but it was a pleasure.
We had great pasta and wine were looking forward to the downhill hike into Aquapendente the next day, little did we know what the weather gods had in store for us, but we were happy to rest our weary legs and feet for the night.

We left Buonconvento and set off for San Quiroco d'Orcia, small towns with long names and long histories.
Buonconvento dates back to the medieval era and was originally a fortified settlement. Its name, which means "good convent" in Italian, likely refers to the presence of a nearby monastery. The town grew strategically along the Via Francigena pilgrimage route, becoming an important stop for travelers and pilgrims.
Places to See:
Historic Center: Buonconvento's historic center is remarkably well-preserved and offers a glimpse into its medieval past. Explore its narrow streets, medieval walls, and ancient buildings.
Museo d'Arte Sacra della Val d'Arbia: This museum displays a collection of religious art and artifacts, including paintings, sculptures, and precious liturgical objects from churches in the surrounding area.
Porta Senese: This impressive city gate, built in the 14th century, is one of the main entrances to the historic center. It features a characteristic tower and provides a great starting point for exploring the town.
Church of San Pietro e Paolo: Visit this beautiful Romanesque church, which dates back to the 13th century. Admire its architectural features, including the intricate rose window and the impressive interior.
Palazzo Podestà: Located in the heart of the town, this historic building served as the residence of the local authority in the past. Its architectural style reflects the influence of the Renaissance period.
Buonconvento Fortress: Explore the remains of the medieval fortress, which once stood as a defensive structure. Although partially ruined, it offers a glimpse into the town's defensive past.
The route between Buonconvento and San Quirico d'Orcia is a part of the Via Francigena, an ancient pilgrimage route that stretches from Canterbury in England to Rome in Italy. This section in Tuscany is known for its scenic beauty and cultural he

Most of our stay in Siena was rainy and wet, which was a real pity since there is so much to experience here. We spend most of our rest day waiting for a bus to get to a sport shop in Colle di Val d'Elsa in order to buy rain ponchos and warm clothes.
We did have a great lunch in Siena and visited the Duomo. Siena, located in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, has a rich and captivating history that dates back to ancient times. The origins of Siena can be traced to the Etruscan civilization, which flourished in the region around 900 BCE. However, it was during the medieval period that Siena truly thrived.
In the 12th century, Siena emerged as a prosperous city-state and became a fierce rival of Florence. The city's political structure was characterized by a system of guilds that held significant influence. Siena experienced a period of economic prosperity, particularly through its flourishing textile industry and banking sector.
One of the most iconic landmarks of Siena, the Siena Cathedral (Duomo di Siena), was built during this time. Its construction started in the 12th century and continued for several centuries, showcasing a blend of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. The cathedral stands as a testament to Siena's wealth and artistic prowess.
The 14th century marked a significant turning point in Siena's history. The city was hit by the devastating Black Death in 1348, resulting in a drastic decline in population and a subsequent economic downturn. Moreover, conflicts and power struggles with other city-states, including Florence, further weakened Siena.
In the 15th century, Siena fell under the control of Florence, thus ending its independence as a city-state. Despite this political shift, Siena maintained its distinct cultural identity and continued to produce remarkable artistic and architectural works.
Today, Siena is renowned for its well-preserved medieval citys

We left the castle of Monteriggioni hoping for some better weather, which was granted, but we forgot to ask for less mud underfoot.
It was a pity that the castle wall entry only opens at 9am, I was literally the only person walking around in the castle, which suited me perfectly because the drone footage here was important to me.
Monteriggioni is a small walled town located in Tuscany, Italy. Its history dates back to the Middle Ages when it was built as a defensive stronghold. Here's a brief overview of Monteriggioni's history:
Construction: Monteriggioni was founded in the early 13th century by the Republic of Siena. It was strategically positioned on a hilltop to serve as a defensive outpost against rival cities, particularly Florence. The town's circular walls, punctuated by 14 towers, were constructed to provide protection and serve as a watchtower.
Medieval conflicts: Monteriggioni played a significant role during the conflicts between Siena and Florence, two powerful city-states in medieval Italy. The town changed hands multiple times as battles and sieges occurred. Despite the struggles, the town's robust fortifications allowed it to withstand many attacks.
Dante's mention: Monteriggioni gained literary fame when it was mentioned by Dante Alighieri in his epic poem "Divine Comedy." Dante praised the town's impenetrable walls, highlighting its strength and symbolic significance.
Decline and restoration: With the decline of feudal conflicts, Monteriggioni gradually lost its strategic importance. Over time, the town fell into disrepair. However, in the early 20th century, efforts were made to restore and preserve Monteriggioni's medieval architecture, which allowed it to maintain its unique charm and attract visitors.
Today, Monteriggioni is a well-preserved medieval gem, attracting tourists with its picturesque walls, narrow streets, and captivating views of the surr

Today we reluctantly left San Gimignano and set off to Monteriggioni. It promised to be a long, cold and potentially wet day . I did manage to get up early and capture some amazing drone footage in this fairytale place before the hordes of tourists arrive. We stayed at La Locanda di Quercecchio which is highly recommended. The owners also have Bar le Torre on the main square that provide a good breakfast as well a a relaxed evening glass of San Gimignano vino.
Our hike to Monteriggioni was long, but it was made harder because of the constant rain and wet/muddy conditions underfoot. The scenery is spectacular though, but we certainly felt the exhaustion as we started nearing the castle. We were however very excited to spend the night in this medieval place, it was something that I had been looking forward to for months while planning the trip.
Immediately on entering the castle we bumped into some fellow South Africans who were there to host their daughters wedding, not a bad place to get married!
We ate at an amazing restaurant Ristorante Le Torri, it's pricey but the food is out of this world. Our room at Rooms and Wine al Castello was perfect and highly recommended.

Today we left Gambassi Terme and had a short 14km hike to San Gimignano, it felt like 25km. The route is beautiful, dirt roads and wine farms, and for a change no rain. It was pretty much mostly uphill, but once arriving in San Gimignano the uphill didn't matter much, the place is simply mind-blowing.
We got here early enough to settle in and enjoy the wild boar and Chianti on offer. The place was seriously busy and it was clear that tour busses arrived on a regular basis from everywhere in Tuscany to experience the magic of the town.
We had a great B&B right in the center and this allowed us to explore at will. The wild boar was the best meal of the entire trip.
I managed to get up early enough to capture the town without the crowds of people, it was magical.

Today we woke up and put on damp clothes again, that damn night rain didn't care about the clean clothes on the washing line. We were excited to explore San Miniato before we set off. I got some early morning drone shots and we had breakfast at our apartment before setting off, we followed the bike route for 1km before being told to turn around, expert navigation!!! Eventually we reached Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e San Genesio on top of the village, it is beautiful. The Tower of Frederick II from the 13th century towers over the town and can be seen from miles away. The germans destroyed it in WW2 but it was rebuilt in 1958.
The hike to Gambassi Terme is beautiful, mostly gravel roads and paths, through forests, winelands and farms, with wild flowers as far as the eye can see. We did get a heavy downpour again, but it was over in 20 minutes and we could again peel off the protective layers.
As is customary, the approach into Gambassi provides a breathalyzer test for fitness, situated on top of a hill. It was a rainy evening and we had dinner with 2 American and 2 Swiss pilgrims. Our accommodation was out of the 17 hundreds, and had not been updated since, I am sure there were ghosts, but we were too tired to care.

Today we woke up and put on damp clothes, anything wet from the rain the previous day I hung on my backpack in the hope that the day will at least have some good weather and things may dry out a bit. I felt like a real pilgrim with my underwear and socks flapping in the wind as I walked.
The weather was overcast when we started off and we mostly has a rain free day except for a bit of rain in the afternoon just before Fucecchio. The trial was mostly off road, in forests and beautiful. BUT, there was a lot of mud underfoot from the heavy rain the day before. This made for fairly tough going in some places. It was also a long day, 31.5km after we detoured to a cell phone shop to get a new phone just below San Miniato, Amanda's wet phone refused to reveal any screen.
We has a good lunch in Fucecchio, there is an amazing restaurant just as you enter the town. The climb up to San Miniato takes your breath away, but so does this beautiful town, perched on top of a hill.

We woke up in a very rainy Lucca as predicted and donned our raingear, stopped for a quick croissant and coffee and braved the wet roads out of Lucca. We immediately got the direction wrong because navigation on a wet phone was almost impossible. We soon realised that the busy road we were on, with cars spraying us with even more water, was not where we needed or wanted to be.
We eventually left the harrowing deathtrap and met up with the route, thereby adding 4km/1 hour to our agony in the rain. I say agony because it was torrentially pouring down for the full 7 hours we were on the road, and nothing could keep out the water. I also realized that I was severely underprepared for this type of rain having left the poncho at home. Needless to say water was seeping down my back and legs directly into my shoes. A poncho, which we would procure a few days later, is essential if rain is expected on your journey.
Also, the Goretex debate came to mind, if you expect rain, go with Goretex shoes, trail runners are not the best option. We were not expecting this type of rain, and we learnt 2 days later watching Italian news that the Bologna region of Italy has received a third of their annual rainfall in 36 hours. Severe floods had hit the area and we were experiencing the effects of this heading into Tuscany.
I was disappointed because I could not get footage to tell the story of the day properly, and it reminded me of the day into A Guarda on the Camino Portuguese when we walked in a hurricane, clearly we needed another reminder that the weather can be unpredictable and you should be prepared.
To make things worse our accommodation was 2.5km on the other side of Altopascio, so the 18km day soon became a 24km day, but that is sometimes how things work out. On a side note, if you need to make up a day or skip a stage, this would be it, the route is busy, mostly industrial and nothing mu

We woke up today, feeling exited to not have to put on hiking shoes and backpacks, and even more exited to explore the beautiful walled city of Lucca. As soon as we entered the walls I could feel the calm of the place.
We had a small, but amazing breakfast at a french-style cafe called Santa Zita, it was exceptional. Then we rented some bicycles and set off, not on foot, to explore. The walls of the city provide an ideal way to quickly circle the city and choose your entry to bypass the small interior streets.
The Catheral di San Martino is a must visit, there are seldom long queues and pilgrims gain free entry. We had a lunch followed by more sightseeing and then an amazing supper on the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, the ring of buildings surrounding the square follows the elliptical shape of the former second century Roman amphitheater of Lucca.
Lucca was one of the highlights of the entire trip and well worth the extra day to spend time exploring the city.

Today we woke up early to get some drone shots in Camaiore, we had a good breakfast at B&B Relais dell'Angelo and we set off for Lucca. It was going to be a long day with an initial climb up to Montemagno and then another at Piazzano. There is a cycling cafe at Montemagno with some refreshment opportunities, but at 10km in it was a bit early. The next stop was an Albergue at Massarosa which was busy preparing a pilgrim lunch when we passed by. This is where we started seeing some pilgrim traffic for the first time.
We decided it was still too early for lunch which might have been a mistake since after Piazzano the serious downhill into Lucca started and the was literally no support or drinking points on the route. It wasn't until outside Porcarese we got saved by a water fountain outside a church and 5 minutes later a sports club bar where elderly inebriated Italians where playing a noisy game of cards. We stopped for the elusive beer of the day before we hit the road, crossed the Serchio River and followed the river into Lucca.
It was a huge relief entering the gates of this amazing city after a long and challenging day. We were relieved to have a rest day in Lucca the next day as the first blister(not mine) appeared as a result of the downhill trek. It was however the first day where Tuscany started appearing, little dit we know about the floods that were about to hit northern Italy and how that was going to shape part of our journey ahead, but that is a story for another day.

Today we started off in Marina di Massa and walked for about 10km next to the sea before turning inland towards the picturesque town of Pietrasanta. It was a Sunday and as we learnt soon most shops are closed on Sundays, which was a pity because Pietrasanta is deemed as a centre of art in Italy and has so many amazing art galleries, most of which we could only peer in through locked doors.
We had the most expensive Florentine steak known to mankind, very delicious though, and a cold beer before exploring the historical centre, flying the drone and navigating our way through the Sunday street market.
Pietrasanta is definitely worth an extra day if your schedule allows. Our hour here left us wanting more. We then set off for Camaiore with full tummies and the road took us uphill and then into a forest with some farm(goat/sheep) activity. The last section into Camaiore is long and fairly boring. The day seemed long and hot, even thought we only did 28.5kms.
Our accommodation at B&B Relais dell'Angelo was spectacular and I can recommend them wholeheartedly.

Today we woke up in Riomaggiore and set off to join the Via Francigena in Sarzana. Walking from Cinque Terre to Sarzana(27km) is doable but you would be passing through industrial La Spezia and walking mostly on busy roads, this was not an option for us as it was simply a connector to the official route.
So we took a train to Manarola, has a beautiful breakfast, and then caught a train to Sarzana, stopping at La Spezia.
Once we arrived in Sarzana we popped into Alberque La Villetta to collect our Pilgrim's Passports and get out first "Il Timbre" (Stamp).
I decided to take an immediate detour off the official route, which would take us into the mountains to Massa, and head for the coast to Marina di Massa so that we could swim in the sea before we headed inland. In retrospect I would suggest that rather skip Marina di Massa, the route is mostly on a busy road and then takes you along an industrial, not so impressive seascape towards the town. Marina di Massa itself is a rather unimpressive place, consisting mostly of beach clubs aimed at the bulk economy holiday trade. The beaches are there, but not that great. So stick to the route and head into the mountains would be my recommendation.
The route was flat, and ended up being about 23kms.

After a 3 day visit to Florence and Venice we had enough of the madness of tourists and decided it was time to start walking. I have alway wanted to visit Cinque Terre and therefore decided it was as good a place as any to start our adventure. We caught a train from Florence via Pisa and ended up in Monterosso al Mare, and it struck it immediately how beautiful this place was.
We almost just wanted to go spend time on the beach but we had some walking to do, after all Rome was not going to come to us, so off we went to explore the 5 villages of Cinque Terre on foot.
Remember we had all our belongings in a backpack for the month, which we soon discovered was not what the steep climbs of the area had in mind. It was hot, and it was hard, but boy did the place burn your eyeballs with its beauty.
Our first stop was Vernazza, where we stopped for a beer. It was May and the place was buzzing with people, the hiking trail was crowded, and I have to admit that we were not too pleased with the frenetic nature of the overall experience. Like Florence and Venice this was a popular place for tourists to visit, so we were not quite pilgrims yet.
The third town was Corniglia, which we said hello to by having an Aprerol Spritz. We found out that the hiking trail between Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore was closed for maintenance, we did not want to divert onto the backroads to complete the hike and therefore decided to take the train from Corniglia to Riomaggiore where we spent the night in a delightful apartment. Amanda managed the get to swim illegally in the boating harbour, if you want to swim, rather do that in Monterosso.
We caught a train back to Manarola the next morning for breakfast before departing by train to Sarzana where we joined up with the official Via Francigena route.
A few tips on this route, May to September will be extremely busy and hot, perhaps an off season vi

Lion's Head is an iconic part of Cape Town and attracts many locals and tourists who climb it because of the spectacular 360 degree views of the Cape Peninsula and Atlantic Ocean.
You see Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for 27 years as well Table Mountain sporting its very special cloud tablecloth.
I took De Waal with me for an early morning hike, 2 hours up and down. I used to trail run this mountain in 46 minutes in the good old days 😂. It is without a doubt one of the the most picturesque hikes anywhere in the world.
Best times to hike is early in the morning before the heat and crowds or before sunset, seeing the spectacular sunset view from the top of the mountain and hiking down by torch light, carefully.

It ended up being another 31 degrees C scorcher during the final stretch to Santiago. The last section into Santiago was on asphalt and the overall climb from Padron to Santiago should not be underestimated. This section is not particularly beautiful, but the vibe of the other pilgrims as we drew closer certainly made up for that. Reaching the cathedral for the second time was even better than the first.

Today was one of my favourite days, not only because it was shorter, but rather that the route was bathed in forest canopies. It was about 31 degrees C so the shade was very welcome. The last section into Padron was on asphalt and we actually booked into a hotel 2.5km on the other side of Padron, which made the last day into Santiago a little shorter.
