The Via Romea Germanica is also known as Via Romea of the Alpe di Serra Street or Teutonic, or Via Alemagna or Via Romea or Via Stade Ungaresca.
The Hungarians and the Germans, as they were generally called the pilgrims from the central and northern European countries, followed two paths: one along the Adige Valley to Verona; the other along the Pustertal until Treviso. The latter route could be also called Via Ungaresca (or Via Ongaresca). Both paths eventually reach the Via Emilia, following it up to Forlì or arrive still in Forli after touching Padua, Ferrara and Ravenna.
In any case, in Forlì it begins the road, going up the Bidente Valley, crosses the Apennines up Alpe di Serra, near the present Mandrioli step. The path, sloping towards the Casentino Arezzo and continuing into the Val di Chiana, arrives in Orvieto, passing right in front of our farm, and then reach Montefiascone, a town in common with the Via Francigena.
The farm ” Cioccoleta ” then offers hospitality to pilgrims facing the road, with possibility to agree on special conditions for those who are in possession of the “Credential of the Pilgrim”.
