A pilgrimage is a journey made for devotion, or spiritual penance to a place considered sacred.
The Jubilee of 1300 determines the value of the pilgrimage to Rome. The Via Francigena, also called via Romea, was the road that from Rome, the holy city, brought the pilgrims through the Central and Western Europe.
Already the Lombards, in the seventh century, used this way (which then runs for a stretch along the ancient Via Cassia), to move down Italy, but over time it became clear its function of communication route from the center of Christianity, Rome, to Jerusalem.
The itineraries of the major pilgrimages (Jerusalem, Santiago de Compostela, Rome, Canterbury, S. Michele Arcangelo in Puglia, etc) are important for their sanctuaries and monasteries.

| |
The Holy Redeemer Church and the Missionary Sisters Nunnery were built in 1906 in the area where a pool “in opus latericium” and a mosaic pavement portraying Venus were found. The deconsecrated church of San Lorenzo from Brindisi of Gian Battista Milani was built in 1910 in Romanic – Lombard style and is now a congress room. In the area where was built the Evangelic – Luteran Church between 1910 and 1922, a 13 m obelisk was found in the Eighteenth Century. It was erected between 280 and 165 b.C. in the private hippodrome of the Villa of Sallustius and then brought by Pope Pius VI in Trinità dei monti. The pink marble base remained in Ludovisi’s estate until the sharing out of 1890 when it was given to the town council. 36 years later it was exhibited in the Campidoglio Garden as “Fascist Martyrs Altar” and it is still “temporarily” located there from the fall of the Regime.
