Silvana Di Liberto Takes the Silver Way: A Pilgrimage of Love, Legacy and Cultural Connection
The Italian singer and writer will travel 1,000 kilometers on foot from Seville to Galicia, on a trip dedicated to a friend and with the aim of enriching her next literary work, promoting heritage and sustainable tourism.
Seville, Spain – The versatile Italian artist Silvana Di Liberto, recognized for her music and now also for her pen with the success of "El Camino de Santiago (a mi vida)", is preparing to embark on a new and emotional challenge. Of the September 20 to November 13, Silvana will walk the challenging Silver Way, from Seville to Galicia, in a pilgrimage that carries a deep personal and cultural meaning.
This journey, which will total more than 1000 kilometers, will be dedicated to Maria, a dear Basque friend who is almost 80 years old who, due to health problems, will not be able to fulfill her dream of traveling this route. To honor her, Silvana will request that the moving mention appear on her pilgrim credential. 'Vicarie Pro', a testimony that every step, every effort and every prayer will be a "cry of love, friendship and faith" for Mary.
A Journey with a Purpose: Connect, Document and Raise Awareness
Beyond the physical challenge, Di Liberto conceives this pilgrimage as a deep immersion in the local communities along the Vía de la Plata. His intention is to document each locality, its traditions, legends and the essence of its people, to weave a second book that is an honest and passionate story. "I want to give names to those faces, point out directions, reveal shelters and services... because these memories deserve to be told with the full truth and without veils," explains Silvana, who seeks to offer the future pilgrim a "passionate story" instead of a traditional guide.
His journey also has a clear vocation to cultural and tourist promotion. Silvana aspires to "build bridges of shared identity between Italy and Spain", raising awareness about the importance of these cultural routes, the revaluation of natural and human heritage, and the promotion of more sustainable and conscious tourism. With the support of various media and the collaboration of Sicilian companies, your itinerary will be documented in a natural and friendly way, but without falling into the slavery of the telephone, prioritizing the experience.
Preparation and Challenges: The Mentality of a Mature Pilgrim
Traveling the Vía de la Plata is a considerable challenge. Silvana admits having felt a mixture of enthusiasm and nervousness, especially due to the fear of loneliness in sections that are presumed to be little traveled. However, his maturity and clear purpose have become his main strength.
«I close my eyes and visualize that the first thing I will do is meet my friends again, especially with Lourdes. And, at the end of everything, the satisfaction of having achieved your goal and of having made María happy will remain with you," confesses Silvana, recalling her partner's advice that helped her overcome fear.
To face the thousand kilometers, he prepares himself physically and mentally by going up and down hills with weights. She anticipates challenges such as exhaustion, lack of shade or water, and monotony, but trusts that her clear goal will drive her. «As a woman, I face it with a broader and more committed perspective. I continue to be curious, because I love visiting, discovering and communicating, but I also feel a greater responsibility in what I transmit," she says.
Silvana, who has even prepared a song tribute to the Camino to liven up her journey and that of other pilgrims, seeks to leave a clear legacy: "anyone can face challenges. You don't have to be an athlete or a hero; All it takes is daily physical preparation and the courage to leave the comfortable edge of the comfort zone. He wants his work to inspire you to discover the simple and authentic life often found in remote villages, far from the noise and rush of modernity.
This ambitious project has the support of several Sicilian companies, whose logos you will wear with pride. For Silvana, this support is crucial, since it symbolizes the trust and commitment of the private sector with cultural and sustainable tourism initiatives, demonstrating that the union of efforts can make the unattainable possible.
