Dalla frazione di Brengon (dove noleggiate le bici) seguire la strada asfaltata sino ad incontrare il bivio per Chamois: trascurarlo e proseguire lungo la stradina fino a raggiungere un parcheggio che si trova dopo un ampio tornante a sinistra. Risalire la strada che porta al Col Pilaz nell’abetaia che ogni tanto regala interessanti scorci sul Monte Zerbion e sul Mont Tantané. Superato un tratto di strada leggermente più ripido il tracciato prosegue in un tratto quasi rettilineo, siamo sullo spartiacque con il comune di Chamois ed ogni tanto, tra i rami degli abeti, si intravede l’inconfondibile sagoma del di sua Maestà il CERVINO.

Colorful circular route starting from the "Tojo Winery" farm, known for the production of excellent Moscato and Barbera wines, but not only ... ..
Canelli and its “Torre dei Contini”
The track will start downhill until you take a panoramic dirt road that will lead you through the vineyards. A stop with photos here is really worth it.
Once back on the asphalt downhill, the route will wind through a maze of secondary streets until it reaches the town of Calosso near its main hamlet, the Piana del Salto.
Continuing towards the hamlet of Sant’Antonio di Canelli, the route will force you to take a turn near the church of the same name.
From here you can also decide to proceed straight and then left, abandoning the path to follow the track called A05, considerably lengthening the tour in favor of a more complete excursion into the surrounding landscape.
By staying on the A08 route, you will quickly reach the junction for the Torre dei Contini.
Near a purple building you can take the dirt road which, on foot, will take you to this particular monument.
The Tower, dating back to 1617, delimited the boundaries of the municipality and served as a military lookout.

Continuing the planned route you will return to take a dirt road.
Pay attention to the last part, which is quite steep.
The landscape, from here, is definitely worth the effort!
The track will also take you to what in the Piedmontese dialect is called "ciabot", that is a small farmhouse immersed in the vineyards once used as a tool shed.
From here you will have an exciting view over the whole landscape below, between Canelli and Santo Stefano Belbo.
The town of Canelli is a small town of about ten thousand inhabitants that rises near the southernmost border of the Monferrato Astigiano, a few steps from the province of Cuneo.
Canelli is historically divided into two parts: “Il Borgo” and “Villanuova”. The first, further down the valley, is the one that has continued to expand with the passing of time while the second, the oldest Canelli, lies on the slopes of the hill and is still dominated by its castle, today Castello Gancia. The Borgo and Villanuova are connected by one of the historical elements of Canelli: La Sternia.
The Sternia climbs up the hill, crosses the medieval part of the town, reaches Piazza San Leonardo, home to the church of the same name and that of San Rocco (recognizable because it is completely brick). From here the road continues uphill until it reaches the top, at the foot of what is now Castello Gancia.
(At the end of the tour, take some time to visit this part of the city)
The Castle of Canelli was the protagonist of a rather troubled history. Presumably born at the beginning of the eleventh century, the Canelli Castle originally had the purpose of defending the roads that led from Asti to Savona, essential for merchant traffic.
Subsequently the fortress has witnessed many struggles and battles that have caused repeated destruction and reconstruction, until 1929 when the Castle was purchased by the Gancia family and transformed into a large noble residence. Even today, the castle dominates the town from above and shows the Canellese and visitors its beautiful appearance of an eighteenth-century villa.
Unfortunately, as the private home of the Gancia family, the castle cannot be visited, however, at least one passage is required to admire it from the outside.
Asti Spumante is the symbol of Canelli and with it are also the places where the wine takes shape. The Underground Cathedrals are located in the Borgo and represent, in a certain sense, the buried counterpart of the town. These were recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2014.
We are talking about ancient and incredibly large cellars, where the fine wines of the area are brought to rest and where they develop their peculiarities. The Underground Cathedrals of Canelli belong to four great historic wineries: Bosca, Contratto, Gancia and Coppo. Although in different ways, all 4 companies make their treasures open to the public.
Continuing along the track, the path will lead you back to the Tojo Company, from which you started.

La Via del sale è un insieme di antichi percorsi commerciali che mettevano in comunicazione la
pianura Padana con il mar Ligure: il sale infatti, utilizzato per la conservazione dei cibi, era la più
preziosa delle merci trasportate dai muli o dai carri, insieme all'olio ligure in cambio del vino e di
altri prodotti.
Una di queste vie collegava la Val Borbera con il territorio di Genova.
Questo itinerario propone di ripercorrere l'antica Via salata con partenza in ebike da Mongiardino
Ligure in Val Borbera, in una delle zone più verdi e ad alto valore naturalistico del basso Piemonte.
Se invece si vuole abbreviare il percorso di circa 20 km è possibile partire da Casella nell'entroterra
di Genova. L'e-bike vi consentirà comunque di percorrere anche lunghi tratti in salita senza fatica.
L'itinerario prevede di percorrere strade asfaltate di basso traffico che attraversano piccoli borghi
come Casella, Montoggio, Scoffera, Pannesi e Uscio con arrivo in giornata a Camogli.
Questi territori da sempre terre di passaggio, sono disseminati di reperti storici quali torri
d’avvistamento, chiese, piccoli borghi arroccati, ponti antichi, palazzi storici, segni delle antiche
civiltà contadine che si accompagnano a ricchi spunti naturalistici e ambientali: panorami unici con
spettacolari fioriture di specie protette e grandi distese di boschi dove oggi è tornato a vivere anche
il lupo. La particolare posizione geografica fa convivere l’ecosistema montano con quello
mediterraneo: da non perdere sono le fioriture primaverili che colorano i prati d’altura, il foliage
autunnale dei boschi o semplicemente un bagno estivo nelle fresche acque del torrente Borbera.
Trascorsa la serata e la notte a Camogli, dopo aver ricaricato le e-bike è previsto il rientro a Casella
o a Mongiardino intervallando la pedalata a soste nei piccoli borghi anche per degustare i molti
prodotti tipici sia quelli di montagna sia quelli dell'entroterra Ligure con una varietà uniche di
formaggi, paste e ravioli fatti a mano, vini liguri e piemontesi, ottimi funghi e i rinomati tartufi
bianchi della Val Borbera.
Se si vuole viaggiare senza nessun tipo di bagaglio è possibile richiedere in fase di prenotazione
delle e-bike il servizio di sherperaggio.

Focus, Piero Portaluppi-Architect
was one of the most important architects and urbanists of the first half of the ' 900 Italian. Although he has operated predominantly in northern Italy, and in particular for the high bourgeoisie meneghine, he has a real revolution in the way of thinking about the architecture of public and private spaces. Over the course of his career he has carried out projects in a number of areas : not only palaces and residential villas, but also hydroelectric power stations-in which he applied architectural styles more related to historical construction than to industrial-funerary edicts, exhibition pavilions, hotels and much more.

From Orte we cross the Tiber again to cross into Umbria for a short stretch up to Attigliano, and immediately return to one of the most curious attractions of the area, the Park of the Monsters of Bomarzo: in this village lost between valleys and crevasses, in fact, Prince Pier Francesco Orsini had the architect Pirro Ligorio build a garden of "monsters", in the etymological sense of the term wonder, or oddities and fantastic sculptures to distract him from the pain of losing his wife. The route continues in a fluctuating manner through the hills of Tuscia, rows of vineyards and farmhouses, woods and wheat fields, crossing only tiny villages and hamlets such as Santarello or Pallone. Thus we arrive in Bagnaia, a handful of tuff houses close to the Cimini Mountains, made even more fascinating by the sixteenth-century Villa Lante, one of the most beautiful Mannerist gardens in Italy signed by Vignola. From here to Viterbo the few kilometers are all downhill, and you can relax by visiting the wonderful medieval center of the capital, and then conclude the stage between shady roads to Vetralla along stretches of the Via Francigena
a Empoli, in Val d'Arno
