Hike the Path of the Gods: Trekking from Bologna to Florence through history, the Apennines, and authentic Italian villages.

From Piazza Maggiore to Florence, on foot.

The Via degli Dei is one of Italy's most iconic long walks: it links Bologna to Florence across the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines on paths, gravel roads and ancient Roman ways. We set off from Piazza Maggiore, among porticoes and medieval towers, and the city falls behind little by little.
