In creating this gallery of digital images of the Via Francigena, and of Rome, we have been guided by these principles:
The images should be:
-

-
-
-
The collection is still in its relatively early stages. We shall add images, and cover more routes, as time and contributions allow.
Please note that the images are sized for digital projection (XGA: 1024x768 pixels)
and the JPG files of about 250 KBs should give adequate prints up to A5 size. In
some cases we hold versions of the images in sizes suitable for commercial reproduction
(20-
We encourage you to fill gaps in the collection with photos of your own. Please follow the "How to contribute" link above.
Meanwhile we welcome your comments on the collection, and its ease of use.
Please note: our images seek to convey the pilgrimage and will inevitably include pictures of pilgrims. If you object to your inclusion in any image on our website let us know we will remove it immediately.

The images are grouped into “Categories” which cover the stages of the Via Francigena
in North-
Please note that in order to avoid confusion between languages, we have made the predominant language English. So even though ‘Piazza’ is attractive, it won’t cover France or Switzerland so we stick to ‘Square’.
You can either browse or search the collection, and you can download images.
To Browse:
- Select the section of the Via Francigena – or other Category -
which interests you - Click on each thumbnail image in sequence, or use the slideshow facility (which is
set for a 3-
second changeover: tell us if you’d like it faster or slower). - To see still larger versions of each image, click on the "Dimensions" information below it, and then on the picture itself to magnify it further. Your browser's Back button will take you back to where you were.
- If the pictures seem to be out of their geographical order, go to the “Sort order”
box above the thumbnails, and select “File Name” from the drop-
down list. - To see a slideshow of the images in any category, click on the first picture in the
category and then on the down-
arrow icon that appears in the top left corner - To see all the images which share a tag associated with any image, click on the tag below the picture
- To return to the Gallery Index page click on ‘Categories’ on the left hand side.
To Search:
- Click on "Search the Gallery" in the Menu section of the Gallery's home page to reach its powerful Search facility.
- Start with the second section, "Tags", and notice the different results you get from
"All tags" and "Any tag" searches. We have used the Tags for fairly high-
levels groupings: thus the tag "Churches" includes everything from Basilicas to chapels. - To refine a Tag-
level search, use the first section "Search for words in captions", where we are likely to have used more precise terms, such as "Sanctuary", which are not in themselves used as Tags. - To limit your search to particular parts of the route, use the last "Search Options"
box. Click on a Category or sub-
category to highlight it; use Shift + click to highlight a sequence of categories or sub- categories; and use Control + click to highlight a number of separate sections. - N.B. if you click on one of the Tags in the description below a picture, you will generate a search for all other pictures sharing that Tag.
- Practise using different search strategies until you are familiar with the way the system works.
