Romea Postumia

On foot along the Postumia: ancient roads and devotional echoes

The Romea Postumia is a short but powerful path. It starts in Verona, once called “Minor Hierusalem”, and follows the ancient Via Postumia, the Roman consular road that once linked Genoa to Aquileia.

Walking means crossing vineyards, soft hills, and medieval towns. In Soave, you walk beside ancient walls and the quiet church of Bassanella. In Villanova, the Benedictine abbey of San Pietro rises like a pause in time.

Then comes Mason di Montebello, where a Roman milestone still stands. Once a stop along the Itinerarium Burdigalense (333 AD), this was a house of hospitality for pilgrims bound for Jerusalem.

Finally, Vicenza, with its Palladian grace, welcomes you in silence and symmetry. A short journey, yes—but one that expands inward, step by step.
