From the center of Civitella di Romagna begins the 'terrible' climb of Monte delle Ruote. Just under 3 km (2,791 meters indicates a plaque on the Sulparo pass) with an average gradient of 13.3% and peaks of 22%, they overcome a difference in altitude of 370 meters.
On the Monte delle Ruote there is a monument to the cyclist and a significant plaque that reads:
'Beautiful and impossible of Romagna - Like a lover, first I fascinate you, then I hate you, finally I love you'.
