Vie Lauretane

Features Vie Lauretane

Vie lauretane is a guide to the physical, sensorial and cultural navigation of the path of the ancient Via Lauretana Senese.
Based on the philosophy of Franz Hessel, flaneur and greatest theorist of the "art of going for a walk", condensed in the assumption-exhortation: "the road is like a book: read it!" the App acts as a digital infrastructure useful for deepening the reading of the territory and landscape readable by the Via Lauretana.In addition to providing all the basic information on the journey (useful numbers, emergency signals), the App Vie lauretane allows you to dose the stages by calibrating them based on the needs of the individual viator: setting short mileage for hedonist pilgrims who want to allow longer stops of relaxation and cultural study or long journeys for more sporty walkers.
Similarly, it is possible to choose the standards of the affiliated accommodation facilities according to the needs of budget, comfort and length of the journey.Vie lauretane, with its interactive gps maps and returned on the basis of satellite photos, also allows you to thematize the path according to the preferences of the pilgrim differently animated by instances: spiritual, hedonistic, cultural, providing specific suggestions on places to contemplate, taste, learn.
A large section of content, text and audio, relating to the history of the Lauretana Senese, to the historical-cultural aspects of the landscape walked and its various components, from the village to the individual architecture, allows a level of in-depth knowledge of the places crossed by the path.
Leaving ample space for the word and therefore for the direct narrative of a selection of farmers who were the architects and custodians of the agricultural land, Vie Lauretane is configured as a medium capable of creating the conditions useful for establishing an intimate bond between the stroller and the territory crossed far by tourism fast and superficial mass.
This relationship is promoted experientially through an offer of tastings dedicated to Vie Lauretane users and continuously updated by the producers.For pilgrims most eager to deepen their knowledge of the places visited, the App also provides the possibility to book the services of qualified and selected environmental guides who can accompany the traveler for a stretch, for one or more stages.Being developed in collaboration with the University of Florence, the App also acts as a nomadic observatory on the landscape crossed, a real instrument of relief and management since, in a special section, a questionnaire can be downloaded to detect the outsider perception and to build a community map that returns a perceptual representation of the walkscape that public administrations will be able to use in drawing up planning tools.
In this way the pilgrim from tourist-spectator becomes inhabitant-actor of the Lauretan landscape.Other features, such as the possibility of sharing travel diaries and photo albums and that of releasing reviews allow you to socialize the experience with the community of travelers before, after and during the experience on the way.
