Persistenze e trasformazioni nel sistema viario tra Castronovo e le Madonie: la "via Francigena" tra xenodochia e itineraria peregrinorum

Abstract

The paper is focused on the route system of North and Central Sicily, from the Madonie Mountains to Vicari and Castronovo in the Early Middle Age. In this period the distribution of religious institutions along the routes shows the dynamics of a historical phase marked by new needs of military control, and the interest of the Teutonic Order.
