From Bologna to Firenze: trekking through history

Already at the time of the Etruscans, then the Romans and finally in the Middle Ages, there was a roadway connecting Bologna to Florence: it is the ancient Via Flaminia Military, a route transappenninico of Roman built by the consul Flaminio in 187 BC linking Bononia Arezzo and then went to Rome. However, since by the time the route of the Via Flaminia Military has been almost completely urbanized, the Way of the Gods is proposed as an alternative route that connects Bologna to Florence and that partly follows the route of the Flaminia Military: for about 11 Km not continuous trail, in fact, the two routes overlap along the stretch of paving stones in sandstone ancient Roman road that today is still possible to travel on foot or by mountain bike.
