Apennine pass between the municipalities of Mele and Masone, both in the province of Genoa, the Turchino is one of the symbolic climbs of the Milan-Sanremo. Since the 1950s, the climb has been asphalted and is no longer able to create selection among the runners in the race, but it is still the highest point of the Classicissima.

At the top of the Turchino, in addition to a memorial dedicated to Costante Girardengo, there is a tunnel redone in the 2000s. The Turchino is also known nationally for a singular idea proposed by a viewer of the program "Portobello", hosted at the end of the 1970s by the very famous Enzo Tortora. It consisted of knocking down the Turchino itself and this portion of the Apennines to open a passage between the sea and the Po Valley, thus presuming to solve the problem of the fog.

To characterize the Passo del Turchino from the Piedmontese side is certainly its length: over 25Km! The slopes, on the other hand, are never demanding.
