The typicality of the territory merges with the great spirit of hospitality that characterizes these areas making them unique even for those who do not ride. Nove Colli The Nove Colli is the discovery of the mythical places for cycling, one of the most loved gran fondo by cyclists. It is the Romagna to ride, sweet in the landscape, challenging when you go up and cross the hills. A sore legs itinerary with the climbs of Polenta, Pieve di Rivoschio, Ciola and Barbotto, climb that “make a difference” in a challenging path: about 130 km to ride, the total ascent is 1871 m, about 50 km climb and slight slope. CIPPO Being cyclist in Romagna means to try at least once the famous climb of Cippo which leads us back to the great Marco Pantani. The climb to Mount Cippo of Carpegna, at an altitude of 1423 meters above sea level. The itinerary starts in Riccione, touches the junction towards Mercatino Conca, and heads for Monte Cerignone. A hard climb down hills even with a 18% gradient that only a little trained amateur can face. It is the ideal summer tour after a few months of training. GRAN SASSO Monte Conero The Conero Mountain by bike is a beautiful cycling adventure, can be discovered with the road bike and mountain bike, within a protected area, rich in environmental values.

Here you can feel the passion for enterprises in the cycling and also for this, the Gran Fondo Danilo Di Luca, for 140 km - in the long path - and a maximum height difference of 2,800 meters is really successful. 29 ADRIATIC AREA HOSPITALITY, FOOD AND HISTORY The Adriatic area is famous for beach holidays, for its food and wine, for the landscape that reserves big surprises. In the area of Valmarecchia and Valconca, there are some of the most significant traces of the Roman period and the Middle Ages: in Rimini is still possible to admire the Arch of Augustus, the oldest of the surviving Roman arches, while in the hinterland between Rimini, Riccione and Cattolica you can take a dip in the history of the Malatesta, rocks, castles and fortified villages. A few kilometers from the Riviera is easy to visit the ancient Republic of San Marino and Montefeltro, fascinating territory where high on a cliff stands the fort of S. Leo, while in Gradara Castle still lives today the story of Paolo and Francesca da Rimini. This vast territory has experienced an intricate and fragmented story, where the artistic activity was concentrated in many places including Urbino, around the splendid Palazzo Ducale, in Loreto in the Basilica of St. Casa, in Pesaro in the Ducal Palace and Fortress, in Jesi in the Palazzo della Signoria, and Ancona, picturesquely disposed as an amphitheater in the hills surrounding the port and retaining many historical sites. Continuing our journey in the south, the landscape changes color and flavor, the weather gets warmer, the vegetation changes and the works of art that bear witness to the ancient culture of the area. Cathedrals, abbeys, monasteries, castles and villages are the main attraction of this land along with celebrities who have crossed. One of these is Gabriele d’Annunzio, the poet was born in Pescara, who left an important imprint in Italian history of the early ‘900, eclectic and extraordinary figure who still lives in the relics and memories kept in the house museum dedicated to him. 30 31 The Hotel Ambra at Milano Marittima has been welcoming guests with its friendly family atmosphere.

Cinque Terre in cycling vocabulary means fatigue and pleasure of the landscape. It is no coincidence between the paths in Cinque Terre was born one of the great gran fondo amateur considered among the toughest races of the type but definitely one of the most beautiful in Italy. The path winds of 149 km to 3000 m in altitude with a panoramic view of the Gulf of La Spezia.

Gimignano, Pisa and Florence, famous cities around the world, impossible to summarize in a few lines.
