ANGUILLARA / ROME THE VIA FRANCIGENA AND THE VEIO PARK
The last stage of the GTL (or the first, if you decide to leave northwards: it is not one-way!) largely exploits the route of the Via Francigena, in the last stretch of the long journey of the pilgrims who arrived in the Holy City. From Anguillara we pass through roads with little traffic near Lake Martignano – depending on the season, it will be more or less pleasant to stop for a swim – and then follow the course of the Cremera stream to the beautiful Sorbo Valley, where the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Sorbo stands. From here we can follow the GPS track and the sporadic indications of the Francigena up to the Veio Park, a city conquered by the Romans in the royal period, whose traces remain in an important archaeological site. We continue our journey towards the city through green patches and streams, along paths that are sometimes bumpy but always fascinating, up to the village of Isola Farnese and the Mola Waterfalls. At this point we still follow the course of the Cremera through secondary roads up to the point where it plunges into the Tiber becoming a tributary: we are now at the gates of the GRA, which we cross with an underpass, and in the northern suburbs of the capital: the entrance to the center is the task of the Tiber ridge, a cycle artery that runs along the river offering unexpected Roman views, from a perspective where traffic does not arrive. The routes to enter Rome include sections of Eurovelo 5 and Eurovelo 7.
a Empoli, in Val d'Arno

Percorso ad anello per tutti alla ricerca di alcuni luoghi simbolo del Marchesato di Saluzzo. Saluzzo è il punto ideale per partire alla scoperta delle Terre del Monviso.
SE SIETE INTERESSATI A RICEVERE LE BICI A NOLEGGIO DIRETTAMENTE PRESSO LA STAZIONE DI SALUZZO VISITATE L'ESPERIENZA QUI.
Il marchesato di Saluzzo è molto antico e precede di gran lunga gli stati del rinascimento italiano, nasce infatti nel 1142 con il marchese di Saluzzo Manfredo I. Nei secoli sono cambiati i territori di competenza ma in linea di massima il marchesato di Saluzzo si identifica con le terre che stanno tra la Stura di Demonte e il Po, con le Alpi a fare da contrafforte.
Saluzzo, Staffarda e Revello sono tre luoghi simbolo del marchesato.
Saluzzo
Tra le tante scelte a Saluzzo potete trovare la Castiglia, la Chiesa di San Giovanni e Casa Cavassa. La Castiglia e l’antica residenza dei marchesi, oggi luogo museale e sede di mostre temporanee. La Chiesa di San Giovanni racchiude veri tesori d'arte, come le tre navate, l'abside con la cappella sepolcrale dei Marchesi, il chiostro quadrato, il refettorio e la sala capitolare. Casa Cavassa è stata dimora signorile dei Cavassa, vicari generali dei Marchesi, oggi museo civico con affreschi, quadri e arredi d'epoca (ospita la famosa pala d’altare della Madonna della Misericordia di Hans Clemer).
Staffarda
Staffarda è un’Abbazia Cistercense nata per concessione del Marchese di Saluzzo nel XII secolo. Importante sede religiosa e agricola, nasce su un terreno bonificato dai monaci e riveste da subito una centralità storica per il Marchesato. Oggi si può visitare nella sua completezza.
Revello
A Revello potrete invece trovare la Cappella Marchionale, residenza voluta nella seconda Metà del ‘400 dal Marchese Ludovico II (la cui tomba si trova proprio in San Giovanni a Saluzzo). La residenza fu poi utilizzata da Margherita di Foix, vedova di Ludovico II, nella prima metà del ‘500. La cappella Marchionale è completamente affrescata tra il 1480 e il 1512 da Hans Clemer e bottega. Oggi è visitabile, fa parte della sede del Comune di Revello.
Nel percorso ad anello potrete visitare molte altre realtà come il museo naturalistico del Fiume Po di Revello e il piccolo borgo di Castellar

Se capitate a Castellar nelle prime due domeniche di maggio potrete partecipare alla festa delle 'sentinelle dei campi' organizzata dall'Associazione Culturale Spaventapasseri.

Our journey starts from the “Enoteca dei Colli Astiani”, a reference point in the area for over 20 years for all lovers of good wine.
The route will wind between the hills of Monferrato and Langhe through splendid scenery.
You pedal almost immediately on a slope to reach the "crest" of the surrounding hills and enjoy the best landscapes.
Once you reach the border with Castagnole delle Lanze you will reach the Big Bench of Bricco Lu, from which you will have a memorable view of the surrounding landscape.
Calosso
Continuing the ride "on the crest" you will arrive at the ancient village of Calosso, also perched on a hill dominating the surrounding landscape.
This town is made famous by the Rapulè Festival which takes place every year on the third weekend of October, when the harvest comes to an end.
During this event it is possible to wander through the streets of the historic center tasting the typical dishes of Piedmontese cuisine, combined with sensational wine tastings.
In Calosso, the fortified wall that houses the ancient medieval castle certainly stands out.
This imposing structure has had a rather troubled history over the centuries and has undergone numerous destructions and alterations.
Agliano Terme and Retourn
Continuing along the route you will reach the town of Agliano Terme, a town famous for its wine landscapes and, as the name itself says, for its small spa.
You will reach the highest point of the town, characterized by a large square with an excellent view and the majestic tower of the ancient castle.
The castle of Agliano Terme was destroyed in the first half of the seventeenth century during the struggle between the Duke of Savoy and the Spaniards for the succession of Monferrato.
Today the tower remains of the mighty castle, which can be visited and owned by the aqueduct.
The top of the building is a privileged vantage point for observing the hills of the Province of Asti.
Going down towards the valley you will pass in front of the thermal station.
In 1770 a spring with a particular smell was discovered in a field of Agliano.
Subsequent chemical-physical analyzes confirmed the presence of sulfur and other substances in what the locals called "rotten water".
Right in that place, a hotel was built that began to welcome tourists right away and, later, everything became a spa.
Continuing along this flat road, the route will bring you back to the “Enoteca dei Colli Astiani” from where the tour started.

Un tour facile e adatto anche a chi non è allenato, attraverso il quale si potrà scoprire l'incantevole campagna della Murgia. Si parte dal punto noleggio ebike di Martina Franca in direzione Alberobello e pedalando attraverso la campagna collinare della Murgia Sud Orientale si possono apprezzare splendidi panorami caratterizzati dalla presenza dei trulli e dei muretti a secco ormai patrimonio dell'Unesco. In prossimità di Alberobello una breve sosta presso Bosco Selva e dopo poche centinaia di metri ci si ritrova nella principale piazza del centro monumentale di Alberobello. Si riprende a pedalare e sempre attraversando le tipiche strade di campagna si raggiunge una delle principali cantine della Valle d'Itria: la visita riguarda la storica masseria, i vigneti, gli impianti di produzione vinicola e infine la degustazione dei vini. Al termine si ritorna al punto di noleggio dopo un breve tragitto.

What to see, historical to the San Giacomo Pass
Built from 1929 by the Enel to be able to carry out the dams of Lake Castel and Toggia. As soon as abandoned the evocative conca of Riale the road becomes dirt and becomes a masterpiece of engineering, with reduced slopes, to be confronted by trucks during construction work and back from the harmonious lines complemented by dry arch mulls from which it is possible to immortalize excavations on the tops of the high Formazza and the underlying lake of the Morasco.
What to see, Lake Toggia
We are at quota 2191 mslm, this dam was built in the years 1929-1932 on the Rio Roni, has a length of 199 meters and is 44 meters high.
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.
