La Via di San Michele

Sanctuaries arranged along a mysterious direction and the figure of a protector and warrior archangel are the founding element that characterizes the mystery of the Via di San Michele, an ancient pilgrimage road, but not only, which touched the main countries of Old Europe . I had been interested in this curious ancient pilgrimage route for some time, which in the course of research revealed to be something much vaster and more profound. Today  it has been almost completely forgotten except for the important and monumental monasteries which, centuries and millennia later, still recount the ancient deeds and pilgrimages of thousands of faithful.

The alignment is likely to be a coincidence, as Europe has a high density of religious buildings and because of the prominence of Saint Michael in Christianity.
