The Tempio dei Caduti (Temple of the Fallen), a monument dating back to 1924 and now housing the remains of those who fell during the two world wars, is also interesting.
What to see in San Giovanni Bianco
San Giovanni Bianco is a small town in Val Brembana that owes its name to the town's patron saint and to the presence of numerous outcrops and quarries of light-coloured limestone. The town has a medieval layout and its numerous Romanesque bridges are still passable. In recent years, considerable investments have also been made in the development of the via Priula, built during the 16th century to give Venice, then ruler of the area, a commercial outlet to the north without having to pass through the territories of the Duchy of Milan, then under Spanish rule, with consequent duties amounting to as much as half the value of the cargo.
San Giovanni Bianco is set in a valuable naturalistic context in the middle of the Brembana valley and lying in a basin with imposing peaks, it offers excellent views and numerous possibilities for excursions to the surrounding mountains.
With the closure of the railway in 1966, it experienced periods of depopulation and closure to the outside world. Today, the presence of the Val Brembana cycle route is giving new impetus to tourism, becoming itself a destination for cycle tourism.
What to see in Cornello dei Tasso
Cornello is a village of medieval origin that owes its name to the ancient Tasso family, whose most famous member is undoubtedly Torquato Tasso. The Tasso family already had a company of 'post masters' in the mid-12th century and came to manage the mail service of the Habsburg Empire during the 16th century. In the Middle Ages, the village of Cornello was an important centre for trade and the passage of people and goods thanks to the presence of the via Mercatorum, the merchants' road, which connected Bergamo to Valtellina and linked some of the most important centres in the Brembana Valley.
When, in 1592, the construction of the Priula Road began, commissioned by the Venetian government to directly connect Bergamo to Valtellina without passing through Spanish territories, Cornello dei Tasso found itself isolated and lost its commercial importance, giving way to a period of decline. The new road, in fact, passed along the valley floor, separating the village from the new road system. The isolation of the village, however, favoured the preservation of its original urban structure, which, except for some alterations in the second half of the 20th century, still appears in its medieval appearance, a requisite that has allowed Cornello to be included among "The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy".

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.

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.
From here, it is possible to have a 360-degree view of the surrounding landscape, glimpsing the perfect meeting between the hills of Monferrato and those of the Asti Langa.
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.

Lungo il percorso si attraversano paesaggi collinari, interrotti da rilievi rocciosi, campi cerealicoli, mandorleti, vigneti, pescheti ed uliveti. Lungo la ciclopasseggiata sono previste due tappe fondamentali:
Visita guidata dell’antico Borgo rurale di Santa Rita, che sorge su uno sperone roccioso e ha una fondazione datata nel 1895. Abitato ormai da pochissimi abitanti dediti all’agricoltura e alla pastorizia, questo piccolo Borgo è oggi celebre per il pane del forno “Santa Rita” di Maurizio Spinello e della sua famiglia ritenuto, sin dal 1999, tra i migliori al mondo e fatto esclusivamente di grani antichi siciliani e farine biologiche. I prodotti ottenuti da queste farine hanno proprietà nutrizionali e organolettiche uniche grazie all’alto contenuto proteico e all’alta digeribilità. Il grano antico siciliano, infatti, è povero di glutine e ricco di proteine. Tutto ciò fa di questo piccolo agglomerato di case di pietra un luogo di forte attrazione. Il pane è una vera e propria eccellenza isolana ed è frutto di una memoria antica della famiglia Spinello, una delle poche rimaste in questo borgo abitato in passato da oltre trecento persone.
Visita dell’azienda vitivinicola “Tenute dell’Abate”, che con i suoi 62 ettari di vigneti allevati a controspalliera e potati a cordone speronato è una importante realtà vinicola dell’entroterra siciliano.

After kilometers and kilometers of coastline, the fifth stage of the GTL heads inland, to retrace the Tyrrhenian stretch of the Gustav Line, the retreat front of the German army at the end of the Second World War. The strategy imposed by Hitler was to leave death and destruction behind, and the villages in this area still bear the signs of what was the scene of bloody war actions between the Nazis and the Allies. We start from the archaeological excavations of what was once a flourishing Roman city of Minturnae, whose aqueduct is still clearly visible from the Appian Way, and we flank the Garigliano river, which at this point is crossed by a beautiful Bourbon bridge, to go up its course along the Way of San Filippo Neri. The road is slightly uphill and the first few kilometers are immersed in the bush, broken only by spas and dams on the river. The track dances on the border between Lazio and Campania, skirting villages such as Castelforte, Santi Cosma e Damiano, Sant'Ambrogio sul Garigliano. The kilometers before Cassino reveal the first signs of the Ciociaria countryside, with the pre-Apennines in front of us and the imposing figure of the Abbey of Montecassino, a Benedictine monastic complex famous for one of the most violent bombings of the last war, where there are still numerous monumental war cemeteries.

Il percorso si snoda fra l'amabile profumo di tartufo e la passeggiata adrenalinica sul Ponte tibetano più lungo del Mondo. Questo tour connette Carbone con Castelsaraceno, il palato con la mente.
La storia di Carbone si lega ai monaci basiliani che qui diedero grande impulso all’economia.
Carbone fu per molto tempo il centro della vita religiosa dell’area grazie al suo monastero. Nell’800 fu assalito dai briganti e poi distrutto dalle truppe del Murat. Oggi ne restano i ruderi a Valle Cancello. Da vedere la Chiesa di S. Maria degli Angeli, la Chiesa Francescana al Convento, la Chiesa di S. Luca Abate, la Cappella S. Anna, la Cappella privata dei Castelli e quella dei Fraticelli, i palazzi storici, lo splendido Bosco di Vaccarizzo e le fontane Calanca, Tuvolo e Fosso.
Castalsareceno è nata come roccaforte saracena, Castrum Saracenum divenne in seguito prestigioso centro basiliano e feudo dell'Abbazia di Sant'Angelo.
All'interno del paese è possibile visitare luoghi dal notevole interesse artistico: la chiesa di S. Spirito del XVI-XVII secolo, che conserva un trittico del pittore D'Amato e il palazzo baronale del XV secolo.
Dirigendosi verso la località Mancusi, si scoprono i resti del mulino ad acqua, testimone del passato delle civiltà contadine.
Castelsaraceno celebra ancora gli antichi riti arborei, rievocati nella tradizione "della ndenna".
Nella prima domenica di giugno la gente del paese si riunisce intorno ad un tronco di faggio ben levigato ed alto più di 20 metri, che viene unito con la cima di un abete e poi innalzato al centro della piazza, E' il matrimonio degli alberi, l'occasione per condividere un momento di festa, accompagnato da canti, balli e dagli squisiti piatti della tradizione del luogo.
