Who am I?

I am Sara Zanni, I was born and raised in Milan and I actually live near the city, but my husband and I love moving a lot. I am an archaeologist (yeah, I know: you wanted to become an archaeologist when you were a child… well, I’ve done it!), but I also have a passion for new technologies.

To finish this short bio, there is only a last thing. I am a pilgrim. I’ve walked the Saint James Way twice and my passion for the cultural and historic routes is rooted in my love for the history and the Middle Age. Walking the “Milky Way” I’ve stepped into an ancient history and in 2014 my steps will head west once again: on May 15 I will start walking from the Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio, where the patron saint of Milan rests, to go to Santiago de Compostela and to Fisterra. For about 100 days I will follow the historical routes that from centuries lead pilgrims to Santiago, Rome and Jerusalem: the Via Francigena, the Via Domitia, the Chemin du Piémont Pyrénéen and the French Way.

This site was created to make available to all the information that I am collecting before leaving (itineraries to follow, bibliography, historical and cultural information, references about the hospitality along the way, …) and to allow, to those who want, to follow me and share this long journey to the west.

  1. Having walked the Camino Francés several times, I am now reading a book which might interest you, as far as the history of the Spanish Camino from Somport (Aragonés) to Fisterra (Finisterre) is concerned: El camino de Santiago – La ruta sagrada. By Juan García Atienza (in Spanish) – 2002
    ISBN 978-84-7927-040-7

    1. Thank you very much, Adrian, for your suggestion! I will surely look for this book online! Thanks again and buen Camino!
