Pilgrim Routes in the Florentine Countryside: Eastern Part

Pilgrim Routes in the Florentine Countryside: Eastern Part at 1:50,000 is one of two maps from Edizioni Multigraphics highlighting old routes towards Rome, in this title: La Strada dei Sette Ponti, Via Aretina and Via Bolognese.

The map is double-sided and covers on one side the area north of Florence to Pietramala, highlighting the course of the 12th century Via Bolognese. On the reverse is the area south-east of the city showing the course of two different routes from Florence to Arezzo: Via Vecchia Aretina and La Strada dei Sette Ponti.
Each route is provided with bilingual Italian/English notes about its history, stage-by-stage details for hikers and for cyclists of the distance/timing/difficulty, a route profile, and access to various stages by public transport.

The routes are highlighted on detailed mapping with contours at 50m intervals. Also shown are other waymarked local paths, indicating their CAI (Club Alpino Italiano) numbers. Symbols indicate various places of interest along each route. The maps have no geographical coordinates.

Also included is a street plan of central Florence highlighting a pilgrims’ route across the city from Porta San Gallo across the Arno to Porta Romana, with brief descriptions of 16 main sights.
