From the eleventh to the thirteenth century many pilgrimage roads meet in and cross Southern Italy, especially those starting in Mid-Northern Europe. Yet, as Southern Italy was mainly a transit area, these routes are scarcely documented in the sources, which lack any homogeneous temporal unit and instead dilate or constrict their narrative development according to the relevance for the narrator of the places he is visiting. This explains the dominating role of the Holy Land and of Jerusalem in comparison with those transit areas such as Southern Italy, that is often underestimated from the point of view of both history and geography.Downloads
