ランディオーナでののおすすめグラベルライド

Il Castello di Barengoは、集落の背後にある丘の上にそびえ立ち、周囲の平野よりも高い位置にあり、元々はフランチェーナ街道とセシア川の浅瀬を結んでいた道に沿ってあります。 元の15世紀の構造は、何世紀にもわたって数多くの変更と改変を受け、19世紀初頭にはすでに部分的に廃墟となっていました。 1849年、ロッカは修復工事を受け、元の構造が変更されました。 第一次世界大戦後、所有権はガウデンツィオ・トルニエッリ・ディ・ボルゴラヴェッツァーロ伯爵に移り、彼は建築家カルロ・ニグラに中世の様式規範に従って複合施設の再建を依頼しました。 その後の修復は、現在の所有者であるボロリ家によって行われました。 再建にもかかわらず、スタンドの壁、基礎、いくつかの入り口のドアなど、元の構造の多くの証拠が残っています。

Domenico Piemontesi, known as the "Boca Cyclone," was born in 1903 and raced professionally from 1922 to 1938. During his career, he won eleven stages in the Giro d'Italia out of twelve editions, and in 1927 he took third place at the World Championships, sharing the podium with cycling legends such as Alfredo Binda and Costante Girardengo. He also achieved first-place finishes in the Giro di Lombardia (1933), the Giro della Provincia di Milano (1934), the Tre Valli Varesine (1922), the Giro dell'Emilia, and the Milano-Modena (both 1927). He participated in the Tour de France twice, but withdrew both times before the finish. He passed away in 1987. Ermanno Vallazza raced professionally. Born in 1899, he became Italian amateur champion in 1923. His professional career began the following year.

Between Greggio and San Nazzaro Sesia, the Cavour canal is about to enter the siphon that makes it pass under the Sesia river. Thanks to this little bridge-lock between the fields, it can be crossed with ease.

quiet and wide path in the woods

spectacular view of the vineyards

you can let go of the pedals on the way back
