Via Francigena Entry Point
Sulle Mura cinquecentesche di Lucca nei pressi di Porta Elisa, nasce Via Francigena Entry Point in Lucca, il nuovo complesso realizzato per valorizzare un percorso antico e culturale, importante non solo per Lucca, ma anche per la memoria storica italiana ed europea.
All’interno della splendida architettura della Casa del Boia, è possibile vivere un’esperienza virtuale ed immersiva, che trasporta il visitatore in un percorso attraverso lo spazio ed il tempo. “Francigena Emotion - Il Viaggio, la Fede, la Bellezza” è il nome dell’allestimento multimediale realizzato da ETT, che permette di riscoprire il senso profondo e il legame spirituale rappresentato dal viaggio nell’antichità, ripercorrendo i momenti più suggestivi della storia europea, attraverso immagini, illustrazioni, video 3D e musiche. Un viaggio che attraversa sette secoli, dall’anno Mille fino alla fine del ‘600, per raccontare la memoria di milioni di pellegrini attraverso le storie di viaggiatori immaginari che hanno percorso la Via Francigena.
Al primo piano, un exhibit multimediale, realizzato da Space, composto da quattro postazioni multimediali didattiche, porta alla scoperta di temi ancora attuali per lo sviluppo culturale ed al coinvolgimento di Lucca nel pellegrinaggio religioso.

Video Clip about The Via Francigena
La Vía Francígena también denominada como Itinerario de Sigerico o Vía Rome-Francígena es el nombre oficial que recibe actualmente una ruta que discurre de norte a sur por el centro de Europa. Comienza en la ciudad inglesa de Canterbury y finaliza en Roma, concretamente en la plaza de San Pedro de la Ciudad del Vaticano. Este nombre oficial deviene de la extensión a toda la ruta de la denominación de una parte de ella, la que va desde Vercelli hasta Roma y que desde el medievo se ha conocido como Vía Francígena (o “camino que viene de Francia”).
The Via Francigena is the common name of an ancient road and pilgrim route running from France to Rome, though it is usually considered to have its starting point much further away, in the English cathedral city of Canterbury. As such, the route passes through England, France, Switzerland and Italy. The route was known in Italy as the Via Francigena (the road that comes from France) or the Via Romea Francigena (the road to Rome that comes from France).[1] In mediaeval times it was an important road and pilgrimage route for those wishing to visit the Holy See and the tombs of the apostles Peter and Paul.
La Via Francigena, ou « Voie des Français », est un réseau de routes et chemins de pèlerinage empruntés par les « roumieux » : pèlerins venant de France pour se rendre à Rome. La popularité moderne des chemins de Saint–Jacques a contribué à la renaissance de la Via Francigena sur un mode qui mêle, comme pour Saint–Jacques, la foi, la randonnée et le tourisme.
Pas encore aussi bien balisée que le Camino francès, moins bien équipée en gîtes ou en refuges, la Via Francigena offre cependant au marcheur une fraîcheur et une authenticité qui font souvent défaut le long des chemins de Compostelle.
Parmi les différents itinéraires vers Rome, celui de Sigéric est souvent mis en avant sur la Via Francigena : Sigéric était un évêque de Canterbury qui s’est rendu à Rome en 990 pour recevoir du pape le pallium, insigne de sa charge épiscopale. La liste de ses étapes quotidiennes nous est parvenue, et c’est un des documents les plus anciens attestant un trajet de pèlerinage vers Rome par la Voie des Français.
Réduire la Via Francigena au parcours de Sigéric entre Canterbury et Rome, et faire de cet itinéraire la Voie serait un contresens historique. Par facilité de langage, et parce que l’existence d’un personnage historique permet d’incarner le pèlerin éternel et le plus souvent anonyme, une sorte de mythe fondateur de la Via Francigena s’est peu à peu créé ces dernières années, attribuant à Sigéric la paternité d’une voie dont il n’a été, en fait, qu’un des multiples arpenteurs.
En 1994, la Via Francigena a été déclarée « itinéraire culturel européen » par le Conseil de l’Europe.

Via Francigena - Film Le Bonheur est dans le Chemin
Film documentaire sortie en 2018 au cinéma sous le titre Le bonheur est dans le Chemin

Film d'un périple des Alpes jusqu'a Rome à pied par la Via Francigena.
C'est un projet qu'on a développer avec Dorian Blondon un ami d'enfance et voyageur.
Il retrace notre parcours, nos doutes, nos bons moments, les choses qu'on a apprise...
Une petite parcelle de nos vies le long des 1000km qui nous séparaient de la destination finale.
Cependant Rome n'était pas seulement une destination, cela représentait aussi le défis d'arriver à aller jusqu'au bout d'un projet... Autant de marcher la route en entière que de faire notre premier film.
D'une idée en octobre 2017, puis le financement, l'achat du matériel pour filmer, la marche, et la production jusqu'au passage au cinéma en 2018...
C’est une façon de vous faire vivre le voyage de l’intérieur,
Bien que rien ne remplacera l’expérience direct…. =)
Le bonheur est dans le chemin
