The trip starts in Parma, a gastronomic paradise home to both Parma ham and Parmesan cheese, and leads you through medieval small villages and archaeological sites on the way over the Cisa Pass, the gateway to the Tuscan section of the Via Francigena.
You then continue into Lunigiana - a lesser-known but all the more beautiful part of Tuscany. The cycling takes you onward to the famous cities of Lucca and San Gimignano, the Manhattan of the Middle Ages, before you set off on one of the most beautiful stretches along the Via Francigena to finally reach Siena, which seems to still live in the 1300s.
