Who we are
Variante Cimina of the via Francigena
The association was founded in July 2015 from a meeting of personal experiences, passions and different professional skills, with one clear idea: to bring value to the lands crossed by walking routes, connecting landscape, culture, traditions and small local businesses.
As the name suggests, we started from a variant of the Via Francigena that crosses the Cimini Mountains, between Lake Vico and the Tiber valley. From there we kept doing what we do best: walking, studying places, mapping routes and telling their stories.
The Way of Hasekura and the Japanese Martyrs is the result of years of historical, cultural and environmental research: a route conceived and mapped by the association’s members, pilgrims and walkers before being planners.
