From Belgioioso to Santa Christina we took the older route, the VF pilgrim symbol is just barely visible above the arrow. A beautiful route today through farm tracks. The EAVF (European Assoc for the Via Francigena) is continually tweaking the route to avoid busy roads and pavement. The new route is probably prettier but is three miles longer. We liked this because it went by farms and through small towns.
