Il cammino come spazio di coesistenza tra l'uomo e le altre specie. Riflessioni a partire da una prossimità nociva

Like a satellite intercepting the sphere of influence of the Christian city, via Francigena close to Rome is taken over by it. On the plots of an ambivalent relationship of proximity between the journey and its goal, a coexistence between man and other species can be identified. This paper addresses the topic by giving a dual meaning to the walk: as an aesthetic experience of fusion between man and the surrounding environment and as a landscape in itself “made” by pilgrims, wayfarers, travelers, nomadic individuals and wandering plant species.
