Talk about the book "En reise til Roma"

On 3 July 2024, Professors Hans Jacob Orning and Svein H. Gullbekk joined a talk with Mathilde C. Fasting at the Norwegian think tank Civita, about their book and what makes the 12th century one of the most exciting centuries in European history.

In this digital talk Orning and Gullbekk talk about their cycling trip through Europe, following in the steps of the Icelandic pilgrim Nikolas Bergsson on his journey to Jerusalem in the 1150s. The cycling trip became the book En reise til Roma, presenting a rich narrative on travel, religion, and significant European sites during a formative historical period. 

In this digital conversation at Civita, Orning and Gullbekk, together with Mathilde C. Fasting, talk about the differences between 12th century pilgrims and modern pilgrims in addition to the 12th century legacy for the EU and European unity.
