How to Get to Via Aemilia Scauri#

The surviving fragments are scattered; reach the Ligurian stretches by regional trains to towns like Albenga or Finale Ligure from Genoa or Savona, then walk or cycle along local roads. Inland fragments near the Po plain are accessible by car from Piacenza or Parma - use local signage or archaeological markers to find exposed sections.

Tips for Visiting Via Aemilia Scauri#

  • Follow the line of old paving stones where modern asphalt gives way - the worn edges mark where carts once tracked.
  • Visit early morning when the low sun pulls the mortar out of the stone and reveals the road's patched repairs.
  • Look for house numbers and plaques in the towns along the route; municipal displays often point out visible Roman fabric.
