Already in the Middle Ages Finns made pilgrimages to Rome. Some of them continued their pilgrimages to the Holy Land. Some years ago the route in Italy was reconstructed and named La Via Francigena del Sud. My route ended in Brindisi and took three weeks to complete. One morning it rained for a couple of hours, otherwise the sun was shining all the time. Met many interesting italians but only one other pilgrim. Nevertheless, I can warmly recommed the Via.
