This chapter looks at the publications by Italian walking writers. Over the last ten years, they have increased exponentially, carving out a considerable space in the publishing market (guides, diaries, reportages, novels). Italian walking writers considered in this chapter (Enrico Brizzi, Wu Ming 2, and Paolo Rumiz) have had an experience along an ancient Italian route. The aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of the books that these authors have dedicated to the ancient Italian routes, reflecting on the current relationship between the Italian people and the territory they inhabit. First I show that the rediscovery of travelling by foot also coincides with the desire to find a new relationship with reality, in order to reduce the distance between authors and readers, between writers and circumstances. Then I study their structure and content. In the New Millennium, walking writers avoid giving an excessive theoretical structure to their journeys, favouring a direct relationship with the path to focus on the concrete experience of the journey. Writing on the road is characterized by a double value: attention to the practical aspects of the journey; the thoughts that arise from the journey, including additional and unforeseen stories.
