From Turin to Sant’Ambrogio di Torino
We leave the city following an avenue called Francia accompanied by Anna for a while, until we find a bar where we can have breakfast. After saying goodbye we proceed straight on, walking in the middle of the city is not very comfortable, there are busy sidewalks, traffic lights, cars, obstacles and crossroads; walking on dirt paths in the middle of the nature is way way better than this.
Once we are outside the city and leave behind the suburbs too we get to Rivoli where the road starts to climb a little. We’d like to visit the castle but it’s not on the Francigena and the road is still long, so we sadly decide to leave it behind.
Later on we arrive to Rosta where we stop to have lunch in a tavern in which they serve Lucanian recipes. After the afternoon nap we get back on the road to walk on the Ancient road of France , passing through Sant’Antonio di Ranverso, an ancient institute where, in the late 1188, they took care of the pilgrims and the plagued .
We then arrive to Avigliano and, in the end to Sant’Ambrogio di Torino where we could not find any place to sleep at had to book a room in a B&B that’s nothing but the guest room of a private house.
A nice climb to the Sacra of San Michele is waiting for us tomorrow.
